Born in 1958 of Armenian origin. Arriving in France in Marseille in 1965, I continued my accounting studies in Paris. Mother of 4 children, I took up drawing and painting again 6 years ago and devote myself totally to it. I exhibited at the gallery "Libre est l'art" in Paris in 2023 as well as on several art sites such as Artactif, Artalistic, Artmajeur, Opensea, YourArt.
I am a self-taught artist who has been drawing since I was very young and especially when I was a teenager. Multi-techniques, I most frequently use charcoal, charcoal, graphite pencils and ink, watercolor, pastel, oil, acrylic for my creations on canvas and paper.
As for my sources of inspiration, they have been marked by very significant periods of my life: "the Marines", for example, represent the period of my arrival in France by boat. I have a dozen oil and acrylic paintings on this specific theme. I love Ivan Aivazovsky's works for his seascapes. I admire the transparency of the waves, the reflections on the water, and the union between the sky and the sea. As a fan of the Roaring Twenties and Art Deco, many of my sketches (more than a hundred) in charcoal, charcoal, graphite and pastel, depict women: nude, from various origins and backgrounds. I am very inspired by black and white photos and artists such as Tamara de Lempicka, for the cinematic staging in his works and Edward Hopper, for his paintings of American daily life in the 30s.
Drawing has always been a real ally for this artist during the difficult moments of her life. Art is in a way a force that has allowed her to isolate and protect herself, to give free rein to her imagination and create, having been raised by a widowed mother in a fighting spirit.
