Кто-то видит в этой картине милого Сатану, кто-то — Смерть с косой. Я предполагаю, что второе — будет вернее. Смерть просит подаяние после каждой войны, после каждого убийства — невозможно совершить преступление, не понеся впоследствии наказание за него, пускай я в это и слабо верю, но, всё же, верю. Смерть просит подаяние, и она возьмёт свою плату, звонкую монету за то, что мы совершили — помните о расплате, помните о Смерти. Платите по долгам, или не платите — всё равно постучаться в дверь.
Были использованы чернила, ацетон и лезвие от бритвы в качестве кисти.

I started painting at the moment when I found myself in a foreign country, when I was left alone with my demons - I felt like a discarded toy, and thrown away by life itself; I am afraid of a lot and live in fear, which is why I study states of anxiety, self-destruction, and decline in my works. I have a negative attitude towards the world and the fact of being born in it, although paradoxically I love life.
I rarely use classic brushes, preferring razor blades, pill wrappers, brooms, nails and needles, and my favorite brush is a knife. It seems to me that violence as a symbol has not yet been fully studied within the framework of world art - I am trying to find something valuable in this area.
I also write poetry, music, and am preparing a collection of short stories and an art book for publication. My last personal exhibition was held at Gallery 25 in Gyumri in December 2023; it was called "Cuttlefish of Anxiety and Violence."
My revelations are your revelations, and I am glad to everyone who is interested in my tortured art. We are not alone in our horror, and I hope that my paintings will infuse you with strength to fight the world order - resistance is art.
