Hakob Meltonyan
“I enjoy every scene in my life with enormous pleasure pertaining to that very specific moment. My aspiration in creating my paintings is to express the moment in nature and in life as closely to my comprehensive awareness of the moment as possible. I try to outstandingly convey every color, every single detail, every concealed beauty of sometimes seemingly plain objects with exact match to my feelings of the moment and to my emotional interpretations of my life scenes which bring me infinite pleasure and satisfaction. I find it impossible to communicate this, my admiration of life by any other means than sincere capturing of a full emotional snapshot of the delightful moment on canvas.”
