FROM POST TO EXHIBITION

By ALICE ALAVERDYAN

An exhibition of paintings, titled “The Beginning of New Life,” by a young artist Hayk Galoyan was recently displayed at the American University of Armenia’s Akian Art Gallery.  This was the first exposition of his works. He is currently serving in the military unit under the command of Col Gor Ishkhanyan, and, with the permission of the command, came to Yerevan from the front line to participate in his first solo exhibition.

The young man inherited his affection from his father and grandfather. He started painting at a young age and received his professional education at the P. Terlemezyan State College of Fine Arts.

There is a variety of themes in the work of the gifted young man, there is a desire and search for a free, independent creation.

Jajur, Polazaberd… these marvelous corners of our magnificent nature are depicted in his canvases. After his discharge from the military, Hayk will still serve his nation, but now as an artist as the art people too are spiritual defendants of the nation…
