"The works of experienced lecturer and Professor Artur Martirosyan have an aesthetic and educational value, as they make you admire the small and cozy corners of Armenia, the country’s natural landscapes, seasons, which are so Armenian-like and so close to the soul… It is no accident that the exhibition coincided with the celebration of Tiarn’ndaraj (or Trndez - the feast of the presentation of the 40-day-old baby Jesus to the temple), a day that symbolizes purity and cleanliness, as Martirosyan's works do," Dean of the Faculty of Art Education Ara Hakobyan said in his opening remarks during the exhibition that opened at the Pedagogical University on February 14.
The exhibition featured 24 works by the artist (Artur Martirosyan). Professor Hakobyan said that thanks their sincerity the exhibits attract not only specialists, but also art lovers. He thinks more exhibitions should be organized in the foyer of the Faculty as the works of artist educators will help students know their teachers better.
ASPU Rector Srbuhi Gevorgyan says exhibitions organized at the Faculty of Art Education are unique celebrations. each of the authors deserves, respect, admiration and praise.
Srbuhi Gevorgyan adds that exhibitions should be organized within the framework of interdisciplinary cooperation; psychologists, educators and methodologists can accompany artists, which will be good for students, developing their analytical thinking, pedagogical and professional skills.
Among the exhibits, Doctor of Psychology, Professor Srbuhi Gevorgyan singled out the winter series analyzing the multicolour paintings from the point of view of colour perception, emotional and mood manifestations.
Once again emphasizing the importance of the exhibition, she added that exhibitions of the same format will help students develop unique ideas of creative imagination, and the University is always ready to contribute to processes aimed at developing the quality of education.
“Arthur Martirosyan has remained loyal to the genre he has chosen. His love for his native nature, communication with nature seem to have been conveyed through his brush. Bright colours dominate in some of his paintings, but overall, colours are harmonious," says Satenik Melikyan, Head of the Chair of Art History, Theory and Cultural Studies.
The art critic says that the range of the artist's psychological depth is seen in his paintings. The way of thinking and contemplating typical of a noble person comes from Vaspurakan and Mush, which is expressed in the artist's landscapes. “The genre of landscape is generally presented in a romantic, realistic or classical style. Martirosyan's works are realistic; the artist is excited by the natural environment where he was born, lives and creates. In his works, Martirosyan has reached a level where generalization gradually turns into abstraction."
Painter Artur Martirosyan, who graduated from ASPU, remembers his first exhibition at his Alma Mater exactly 40 years ago.
He has always dreamed of becoming an artist, even when he was not painting. At the age of 17, he entered ASPU where he apprenticed to famous masters and learned the philosophy and thinking of painting, discovering for himself that painting has nothing to do with manual skills, rather, it's a sensation.
Artur Martirosyan, who creates in various genres, says today he perceives the world brighter and sharper; he is full of emotions and is confident that he is entering a new creative period of life. "Some pages will be folded and put away. Something new will definitely come after the exhibition and a summary will follow,” he said.
