Sahman NGO Sisian +374 (94) 526984 tigran@ttigran.com https://tigran.art/ About us Tigran Tsitoghdzyan is a New York–based Armenian artist. He began painting at a very young age. Identified as a child prodigy, Tigran began exhibiting his paintings internationally when he was 10 years old. He primary arts training continued in Armenia until graduating from the Yerevan Fine Arts Academy in 1999. He studied at the École Cantonale d’Art du Valais in Switzerland in the 2000s and worked in Europe and South Africa before moving to New York City in 2009. In the last decade Tigran has become one of the most celebrated Armenian artists, working with renowned galleries, foundations, auctions and art institutions, and his work has been featured in top international art fairs, biennales and festivals. Tigran’s art has always evolved around humanity with the emotions and inner struggles, fears, traumas, love and hate that people face being at the core of the artist’s oeuvre. The fascinating progression of Tigran’s paintings is connected to Tigran’s life experiences as an Armenian, father, immigrant, and artist. His art is urgent and relative. While his work is modern, Tigran is always loyal to classical art. His paintings draw on iconographic Renaissance paintings, multi-figure monumental works, and Hellenic reliefs depicting Gigantomachy. This aesthetics is traced from Tigran’s earliest works and has become bolder as Tigran’s works progress. Previous Next
