Tigran Matulian
“All the mysterious, which happens around me, is transformed into something, yet inexplicable, but at the same time important, and is embodied later, materializing through a space of lines and patterns. The theme attracts my imagination, creating an accelerating flow of thoughts, lines and figures. It’s like an infinite dance of storms on the paper or the canvas. Still, I try to maintain lightness and give Liberty to the new born phenomenon”. Tigran was born in Yerevan in 1960 and traveled to Riga to study art from 1982 to 1984. When it comes to his personality, Tigran Matulian is an extremely generous man, who enjoys making all sorts of imaginative presents to people surrounding him. Positive and energetic, immensely fond of children, he is always eager to encourage the young aspiring artists in their endeavors and give them a piece of valuable advice. And this positiveness inevitably shines through his paintings. Matulian is a man of many talents, who enjoys making jewelry (his love for it is also obvious in his ornamented works), cooking delicacies, making clips and traveling with his daughter the sculptor Margarita Matulian of whom he is immensely proud. His technique is rapid and flawless; he often starts painting several pieces at the same time. Since 2014 Tigran Matulian holds the title of Honorable Artist of the Republic of Armenia. His works are part of the collection and permanent exhibition of Modern Art Museum of Armenia, Museums of Shoushi and Kashatagh , National Gallery of Armenia, Khrimian Museum of the Holy See Echmiadzin (Armenia), History Museum of Yerevan, and Aramé Art Gallery.
