Painter Vladimir Abrahamian will leave for China on March 29 on
Chinese government’s invitation to teach painting at a newly opened
Fine Art Academy. The painter personally announced the news at a
meeting of the Armenian Fund of Culture yesterday. Vladimir Abrahamian
has been a member of the Fund for 20years now.

He signed a contract with the Chinese side for 6 months but it may be
prolonged if there are good offers. “We will have the chance of
experience exchange during my time there, and I will share with my
experience with students back home. They wish to synthesize arts of
the West and the East, we’ll see what will come out of this”, Vladimir
Abrahamian said. The painter will display 25 canvases in Beijing, Honk
Kong, Shanghai and other major cities of China.

The human being with his rich and controversial psychology is the
center of Abrahamian’s pieces. He paints still life and portraits
alike. Being a skillful master in his field he creates lyrical and
philosophical canvases. A book about the painter published by the
Armenian Fund of Culture reads: “The works of Vladimir Abrahamian
alive with sincerity and bear the stamp of impressions that the
thinking artist got from life”.

The painter has worked and still working in the sphere of book
publishing illustrating hundreds of books.
