Dreams form the bristles of the artist's brush.

The eyes of the Armenians speak long before the lips move and long after they cease to.

Art must always remain earnest... Art must be serious, no sarcasm, comedy. One does not laugh at a loved one.

I communicate my innermost perceptions through art.

When something is finished, that means it's dead, doesn't it? I believe in everlastingness. I never finish a painting - I just stop working on it for a while.

I do not paint in front of but from within nature.

We are part of the world creation, and we ourselves create nothing. Our knowledge allows us to make use of all the forces already in existence, our art to interpret emotions already felt. One big war, an epidemic, and we collapse into ignorance and darkness, fit sons of chimpanzees.
