Bagrat Grigoian was born in Leninakan in 1939. He started to draw when he was a schoolboy. He studied at the Mercurov Art School (Leninakan) then in Panos Terlemezian Fine Art college (Yerevan). In 1963 he was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and Drama of Yerevan from which he graduated in 1967.

He had exhibitions in France, the United States, Portugal, Switzerland, Russia, Hungary, Poland, and Lebanon.  His art has been displayed at the Museum of Orientals Arts of Moscow, the National Gallery of Armenia and the Museum of Modern Art of Yerevan.

The art of Bagrat Grigorian is apt to move men. His inner world is complex and turbulent; his modes of expression are individualistic and far from the classical. In his art, contemporary problems of possibility might or might not be soled under that
general heading of Human.

Bagrat is a fie observer; he knows well the masters of his time; he accepts with admiration the good art of others; he is even overwhelmed by ecstasy. But when he is left alone with himself, he becomes rigorous, even pitiless, yet with a simple and clear voice he sends a message that Bagrat exists, that he has a mind, that has an ideal.  In his art there is no first class or second class, there is no important and unimportant, there is no depth and superficiality, there are no limitations to hot and cold; he expresses himself in a unique way.

Bagrat's goal is martyrdom, which can not be consummated in a distant point, but which perpetually tries to be unified with his inner
feelings. He tries to find means to be the master of that language which will decode the mysteries of his inner world.

Bagrat Grigorian had his first exhibit in 1965. With this first exhibit, Bagrat offered us the most sacred moments of his being and of his feeling.
