State Museum of Nature where 45 marine pictures and 7 models of

feeling of color, which permits to suppose that his art will be more
popular in the future," the museum director said. He also stated that
currently few Armenian painters are engaged in marine painting. As
Karen Samargashian said to NT correspondent, this is his fourth
