Biography
Roman Babakhanian was born in Yerevan in 1973 and studied at Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts. Since 2003 he is a member of Artists’ Union of Armenia. He lives and works in Yerevan, Armenia.
Roman Babakhanian’s paintings are photorealistic. In his artworks the objects are presented from such an angle, that they seen monumental to the watcher. This, in its turn, makes interesting the visual perception of the images. A realistic expression of materials and plasticity are very important for him. A great love for the paint is exhibited in the beautiful skin of the paintings, to which he pays a lot of attention. Roman places the objects and fruit in the centre of the composition and depicts them flawlessly, choosing the colors in a way that endows the painted objects with special mystery, making them the main idea of the artwork. Whether a stone, a plum or another thing is painted, in Roman’s works it always appears to be something more than we are used to conceiving in our daily life. The colors and the transitions of light sacralize even more the images.
The mixture tones of ochre and blue-green are the main colors of his paintings. The painter’s still-lifes are full of color, light, plus fresh and glowing fruits and vegetables, the tactile effects of utensil and the possibilities between variations of deep, mysterious backgrounds.
Roman Babakhanian’s artworks are built on centuries old foundations, yet very much conveys a sense of this century with a contemporary edge of freshness and clarity.
