"In my creations, using paints and brushes, I try to manifest the inner
beauty of the human soul. The main theme in my works is theatre and
music, art within art, reflection within reflection. I try to convey
the permanent movement present in these art forms and their monumental
significance in the interpretation of the world. The combined use of
bright colors and dark hues shows the fortes and the pianos of this
intertwined art world. The aesthetics of music, literature, theatre and
fine arts coexist with the beauty, present within each of us, input by
Mother Nature, is present in all my generes of painting. This beauty I
express through the female figures and the playful harlequins in their
bright outfits and costumes, gracefully interacting and playing out
scenes from my imagination," painter Laura Avetisian describes her art.
Mrs. Avetisian thinks painting is the expression of a painter’s
soul. Her colorful paintings seem to full of music allowing composer
Konstantin Orbelian to say, "As a musician, I especially valued in her
works the richness and brightness of the palette, the inner pulsation,
the dramatic effects."
Laura Avetisian was born in Yerevan. At the age of 5 she moved to
Moscow where she graduated from Art School for exceptionally gifted
children. Upon her return to Armenia, she continued her studies at
the College of Fine Arts in Yerevan, then at the Institute of Fine
Arts and Drama.
As a talented student, Laura was invited to participate in exhibitions
in different countries in Europe. During her student years her works
went as far as North America when she displayed them at the Art EXPO
in Montreal.
Currently Laura resides in Los Angeles, California.
Within the last few years Laura has had numerous solo exhibitions
in many cities of the US, such as New York, Detroit, Boston, San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Her works are on display at prestigious galleries in Carmel and Palm
Springs, California. Several American collectors are proud owners of
Laura Avetisan’s exquisite art works.
