Artist Statement
Deeply influenced by nature and bold and playful colors to express optimism , Anahid’s paintings attempt to transferring landscape with vibrant colors into abstract art. Her palette is filled with bold multi colors … creating surreal, dream-like landscapes.
She believes color can evoke emotions, change moods, it can excite and soothe the mood at the same time. In her work, Anahid’s focus has transitioned from contemporary to abstract and minimalist, yet the themes and palette have remained consistent, embracing a new perspective and manner of expression. Her vibrant, bold and striking color palette to create a colorful, minimalist atmosphere-landscape, her embodies a new and passionate perspective, consistently endeavoring to capture the essence of her subject. She believes color has a strong impact on our daily life and such powerful tool beneficial to our mind and body. Color influence us spiritually to bring the calming effects, joy and energy.
Primarily through the use of oil, acrylic and mixed media, Anahid is a contemporary abstract artist. A second-generation artist, she describes her father as her first true mentor. Anahid started taking private painting lessons at an early age. after becoming familiarized with traditional oil painting and gaining her collage degree in Advertising Art, she found herself drawn to and inspired by modern art with and abstract, minimalist approach.
Paint and other mixed media are applied in a variety of methods, so that intense layers of texture contrast with smoother areas, with color remaining as the main components, simplifying the true essence of the subject. Surfaces are scratched to reveal the paint underneath, allowing viewers to truly experience the artwork through the creative color combinations, brush strokes and different techniques.
Anahid credits her world travels as inspiration for her art; she feels that it changed her perspective and feeling of perception uniquely and emotionally, compelling her to transfer it to her audience. She also feels a deeply-ingrained physical and spiritual connection with nature and colors “ I am energized by the nature and love to transfer the harmony and beauty of the nature to the viewers. With each painting, she tries to give viewers a unique, emotional sentiment with which to create their own story!
