Recently, Robert Askarian, a sculptor from Nagorno Karabakh,
participated in the international symposium of sculpture organized in
the Brazilian city of Bruskve. He was awarded among the best 10
sculptures. It is worth mentioning that 184 sculptures arrived in this
Brazilian city from various countries of the world to participate in
the symposium.
Robert Askarian’s “The Angels’ Rendezvous” sculpture was chosen among
the other works and passed to another stage. Robert Askarian was proud
and delighted to represent Artsakh, an internationally unrecognized
country, among the other countries of the world.
In 2004, the sculpture created by Robert Askarian and dedicated to the
1000th anniversary of “The Book of Mournful Songs” by Grigor Narekatsi
was set in Kaunas, Lithuania. The sculptor was awarded NKR’s annual
award after Yeghishe Charents by the end of 2004.
The sculptor stated at the press conference that the participants and
the organizers of the symposium highly estimated the Armenian culture
and he was proud of representing his nation abroad.
We are hopeful that “The Angels’ Rendezvous” by Robert Askarian will
be given a higher prize during the conclusion of the symposium’s
results this summer in Brazil.
