We are proud to announce that Seeroon Vassilian Yeretzian, one of the artists who we represent, completed one of the angel statues located around Los Angeles for the Community of Angels Project public art program.

Angel of the Century was on display on the stage at ABC Entertainment Center, located at the Century Plaza Towers, for a month.  Seeroon Yeretzian was the only Armenian artist working on this benevolent project.  All funds from this project supported important youth programs in Los Angeles.

"Because L. A. is a city of cultural diversity, each of the 16 angels painted on the statue represents a different country: Spain, Mexico, Africa, Vietnam, Japan, China
and various countries located throughout Europe. If you love someone you become an angel. Everybody is an angel to someone you love."
Seeroon Yeretzian
Artist & proprietor of Roslin Art Gallery

Seeroon Yeretzian was commissioned to paint the angel which was over six feet tall.  Angels appear in many of her paintings reflecting her spirituality and the imagery of the Renaissance masters. After reviewing the works and styles of several local artists, Yeretzian was selected because of her creative style, her artistry with angels, and her enthusiasm to embrace this project.
