Internationally acclaimed artists, Razmik is a man who paints from the soul.  And his is a soul filled with pain, oppresion, and even anger.  Yet his masterworks of art belie a past of chaos and turmoil.  Razmil has lightened his heart with love, forgiveness, and re-birth.

    With the unique determination of the born artist, life in a culture that suppressed creative expression only gave him more fuel for his inspired images.   His paintings are characterized by subconcious feelings and liberty in colors and forms.  Love and pain, passion or joy fairly leap off the canvas.

    "The physical world is our creation; We each create our own version of the world, our particular reality, our unique life experience.  Art is the mirror of that world.  Everything in our life is our reflection, our creation, there are no accidents or events that are unrelated to us.  If it didn't mirror some part of ourself, we wouldn't even be able to see it.  Anything you love, enjoy, or a particular spot in nature that is very beautiful to you, it is a mirror of your own beauty.  It's a reflection of yourself.  There are mirrors everywhere."

    Observing his art under his innovative philosophy, one cannot help but feel a certain curiosity as to whether we are dealing here with simply a distinctive style, or with an unusual cultural phenomena.

    His creations are original and very imaginative.  It is spiced with eccentricity; It's abstract and intellectually demanding.

    "It might be prudent for one to call to mind Razmik's more famous countryman Arshile Gorky, whose biomorphic abstractions strongly resemble Razmil's own.  Gorky always maintained that all of his paintings were inspired by his childhood in Armenia.  Perhaps in some ways Gorky never left Armenia, or maybe this is an Armenia of the Soul which apparently Razmik was able to transcend."
