On April 17, the exhibition of paintings of Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia Samvel Lachikyan opened at RAU Art Aquarium. 

 

The artist works across different genres and makes portraits, landscapes and still-lifes. Art experts note that it is the simplicity and natural beauty of Samvel Lachikyan’s works that is especially attractive to art connoisseurs. 

 

“Beauty surrounds us, it is essential to observe it. All my works are special, and I make each work in a certain technique. I can't point out any particular genre that I like more, because each direction has its own place in my art,” the artist shared.

 

“The exhibition of paintings showed the beauty of everything that surrounds us. However, I paid special attention to the paintings in which the artist depicted his parents. It was very touching for me,” RAU student Ruzanna Afrikyan mentioned.

 

The exhibition was attended by not only RAU students but also schoolchildren who admired the artist’s works and asked questions that interested them.

 

It should be noted that the curator of the Art Aquarium project is Head of the Department of Russian and World Literature and Culture of RAU Lilit Meliksetyan.
