Painter Nikol Aghababian who has staged sole exhibitions in Armenia
and other countries of the world represented his works at the National
Library yesterday. With daring touches and gay colors he depicts his
country’s nature and Tiflis (Tbilisi).

The painter explains warm and bright colors of his canvases with
the fact that he is Armenian and lives in Armenia. “Those colors are
peculiar for Armenia with its sun, mountains and gorges”, he says.

Nikol Aghababian is looking to paint other such series as “The
Old Tiflis”. This series features ancient urban architecture of the
Armenians. I think that Gyumri, Goris and Shushi will also be included
into such series”, he says.

The painter’s friends and colleagues accompanying him during the
exhibition shared with their thoughts. “Nikol Aghababian has created
an environment of speaking colors where I would like to live and
love. This is an environment of light created by the authors daring
dabs”, one of the painter’s friends said.

Painter Hrant Tadevosian spoke of Nikol’s boundless love and
devotion. “He wakes up every morning and throws himself to the nature
to his beloved native nature which he depicts with bright colors”,
he said.
