The "Through the Artist's Eyes" Gallery features world-renowned authors working in various styles and movements, winners of numerous international awards. They have represented Russian art at the Biennale in Florence, the Louvre (France), and in the ancient 4th-century Basilica of San Vitale in Rome as part of a joint project with the Roman Catholic Church. They regularly exhibit at the New Tretyakov Gallery, the Kremlin Palace, and other major international venues. They actively participate in diplomatic and cultural projects in Russia and around the world. - Daria K.
For me, nature is not merely a landscape or a backdrop. It is a quiet sermon, full of a secret magic that I strive to hear and translate into the language of color. My works are doors to those other dimensions where the universe whispers its most intimate mysteries.
I am fascinated by weaving together the sublime and the earthly: ancient symbols of the world's religions meet with mundane scenes and light irony in my canvases, giving birth to visual parables. My artistic style was formed at the crossroads of inspiration I drew from Bosch and Böcklin, and the profound spiritual experience I gained in Church school. And I invite you to become not just a viewer, but a participant, to unravel this wonderful puzzle of existence together.
My art has traveled the world, and it is a great honor for me to have exhibited at such venues as the Louvre in Paris, the Florence Biennale, the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, and the New Tretyakov Gallery. I have initiated and realized art projects in diverse corners of the globe—from India and China to France, Italy, Egypt, and Bahrain.
Of particular value to me is the fact that my work has resonated within international political and diplomatic circles and is held in the private collections of individuals such as Sheikh Mubarak A Al Suwaiket, Prince Regent Karan Singh, the Ambassador of the Netherlands, Joanneke Balfoort, and the former President of Yemen, Ali Nasir Muhammad Al-Husani.
Artur Mirzoyan
Arthur Mirzoyan is an artist who combines academic techniques with the sharp expressiveness of a key stop-frame in his work. By reinterpreting symbolic motifs from classical European art, he brings to contemporary audiences its timeless resonance.
Born in Moscow in 1981, Arthur Mirzoyan received higher artistic education. He has had a successful career working as production designer and film director on numerous international cinematic projects featuring stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Valery Zolotukhin, Yura Borisov, Charles Dance etc.
Parallel to his successful career in cinema, Arthur Mirzoyan actively developed himself as a painter and participated in many exhibitions and significant venues including the: XV Florence Biennale (Florence), Louvre (Paris), Kremlin Palace (Moscow), New Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), Consulates in Cairo and Alexandria (Egypt), India among others.
Canvas and oil paints, occasionally supplemented by gilding, are the primary medium for Arthur Mirzoyan's works. His style, refined over years, is characterized by smooth lines, precise silhouettes, and diverse deep color palette. In his paintings, the author combines voluminous figurative images with flat and abstract elements leaning towards ornamentation. Completely non-objective compositions also appear but less frequently. Moreover, Arthur paints portraits in his own unique style. Among the owners of his portraits are such notable figures as the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, the President of Sri Lanka Anura Kumara Dissanayake, as well as actors and prominent figures in politics, culture, and science.
The Artist's works are found in museums and private collections.
What is so unique about your artworks?
Our art is a synthesis. We carefully preserve the legacy of academic mastery, but do not confine ourselves to it. By actively engaging with the artistic languages of different cultures, we find the point of perfect balance between respect for tradition and the courage to experiment.
Is an artist's life lonely? What do you do to counteract this?
Daria K.:
An artist is not lonely from a lack of communication, but from an excess of a different kind of dialogue. Their world is a conversation with the abyss, with eternity, with the very substance of existence. As long as they are engaged in this conversation, they are whole. Those around them are merely indifferent spectators.
Their true loneliness begins among people, when this internal dialogue is severed. And then neither society nor love can fill that divine silence in which worlds were once born. They are doomed to seek a way back — to their only interlocutor.
Have you ever had a spiritual experience?
Daria K.:
Spiritual experience is an integral element of my creativity. My childhood, spent within the walls of a Christian school, gifted me a special language, the language of faith, through the prism of which I still perceive the world. The feeling of wonder and connection with the depths of being was never something strange to me; it was the natural backdrop of my existence.
Over time, my spiritual space expanded beyond a single tradition. Studying other religions and pilgrimages to the sacred places of the world became part of my creative path—a search for a universal light refracted through different cultures.
Sacred experience is the air my art breathes. Sometimes its source is the silence of my garden, transforming into a space for dialogue with something immeasurably vast. It is precisely through creativity that this dialogue finds form and voice.
What is important in an artist's work?
Artur Mirzoyan:
Cultivated visual awareness, life experience, wit, and discipline.
What experience has been key for you?
Artur Mirzoyan:
Working for over 20 years in cinematography on major, ambitious film projects.
Explain what you do in 100 words?
Artur Mirzoyan:
I create images and situations in paintings that have never existed before in precisely such a unique form. I compete with all creators who ever existed before me and those yet to be born. It's like a race of hundreds of thousands of runners from different times on the same track. Am I capable of surprising artists from the 16th century? Or authors from the 23rd century? Am I creative and original enough? There is no answer to this question, nor can there be, just as there is no finish line in this race. There is only the race itself!
