About Aram Hakobian

Aram Hakobian was born in Gyumri (Armenia) in 1964. As a young man, he moved to the capital and graduated from the Yerevan Institute of Arts and Theatre. Aram lived and worked in Moscow from 1999 till 2017. During this period he was a fairly prominent and active participant of Moscow art life. But Aram always felt longing for his native country and culture. The moment visitors opened the door of his studio they witnessed Aram’s organic connection with his homeland, left the gloomy and rainy Moscow and instantaneously appeared in the Kingdom of fierce sun – the foundation on which the entire Armenian painting rests. Aram Hakobian is a master who restores the value of color in painting. In 2017, the artist returned to Armenia, which gave a new impetus to his art, raising it to a whole new level of mastery and originality. Aram is a member of both the Artists’ Union of Armenia and the Artists’ Union of Russia. His works have spread to private collections in many countries (Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, USA, Korea, France…), and have been printed multiple times.
