Elsa Eghiazaryan: Lise
A Journey into Artistic Harmony
Elsa’s artworks resonate with the language of freedom, a harmonious dance with the world where liberation becomes the bridge between the artist and her craft. Born in 1996 in Yerevan, Armenia, into a family of artists, Elsa’s destiny was woven with threads of creativity. Her journey began to unfold at the Panos Terlemezyan State College of Fine Arts, Yerevan, where she immersed herself in the realm of painting from 2010 to 2015.
Surrounded by an artistic atmosphere and direct interaction with accomplished painters, Elsa’s creative spirit was nurtured, shaping her perception of the world and guiding her cultural path. Elsa’s canvases serve as vessels of her emotional nature, a conduit for her deep-seated emotions and unwavering love for art.
To Elsa, the act of creation is a form of self-expression, an avenue for maximum authenticity, and most significantly, a conduit for achieving harmony between the inner self and the external world. Art, for her, is the precise path she traverses to reach this equilibrium. With an observant eye and a cautious disposition, Elsa captures even the simplest of moments, often serving as seeds for new creative ideas. Her vivid imagination transforms these moments into intricate works of art.
Elsa’s dialogue with the world takes shape through her paintings, an exploration of emotions and various phenomena. For her, colors are a means of conveying her message. “My mood actively interacts with colors,” she expresses, highlighting the intimate connection between her emotions and the hues on her canvas.
A cursory glance at Elsa’s art may reveal two distinct poles, each defined by its color palette and inner essence. However, beneath these stylistic variations lies a unifying signature, an expression of her mindset. The interplay of rich color palettes and bold strokes, both horizontal and vertical, breathe life into her figurative works. These works often feature figures, subtly detailed yet boldly emphasized, against a backdrop of soft color transitions. The characters, locally colored and luminous, create a sense of drama, sarcasm, or ethereal beauty, highlighting various facets of Elsa’s artistic spectrum.
Stepping into the realm of Elsa’s abstract style, viewers are transported to a different dimension. Here, color dominates the canvas, weaving a rich tapestry that conveys dynamics, movement, and rotation. Elsa’s adept technical maneuvers, coupled with her free and creative thinking, address the artistic challenges of abstraction with finesse.
Elsa’s artistic journey is a testament to her quest for harmony, her commitment to expression, and her fearless exploration of the myriad facets of art. Through her works, she invites us to share in her emotional landscapes and to witness the ever-evolving dance between her inner self and the world that surrounds her.
The exhibition titled “Sounds of Vibration” is a fruitful collaboration between sisters Lilit and Elsa Eghiazarians. The artists’ goal here is to depict and offer a visual journey that ignites one’s own experience of themselves with the subtle world of vibrations. The artworks showcased in this exhibition visually represent the world of senses through a selection of colors, patterns and imagery.
The sisters’ artworks may totally differ at first glance but when observed carefully, one can notice how for Lilit and Elsa the motif of art making is the same, that is, the manifestation of the unseen — the subtle — world.
Lilit is drawn to portray subtle senses that can create and/or perceive vibrations through visual representations of human motion and sound, while Elza’s artworks represent the vibrational world in more abstract illustrations.
Lilit’s artworks focus on the most familiar of the themes — the human body, yet within this known realm there are found nuances of complexity. Lilit mixes the obvious with the mysterious, bringing awareness to the vastness of our being.
Elsa has a different style of art-making in so that she paints the unfamiliar while still playing with showcasing the life-flow through the motion of the brush and the paint itself. Elsa’s artworks carry depth and abundance of personal, raw experiences, emotions and Imagination.
“Sounds of Vibrations” tunes the spectator in to their emotional and sensual worlds through a visual voyage. The artworks remind us of the unknowable and mysterious energies that ignite and inspire us all.
