During college he idolized the painters of Italian Renaissance, particularly Leonardo da Vinci whom he admires till now. Later he got interested in the Golden Age of Dutch Painting. In the last years of college he got acquainted with impressionism and other trends of art in the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of twentieth century.

    He graduated college in 1965 and entered the Yerevan Fine Arts Institute. He got married when he was still a student and has one son and two daughters.
