One of the leading and up-and-coming young contemporary avant garde artists, Vahagn uses, among others, his amazing artistic professional skills in graphics, panel painting, etching, monotyping, and Stencil to project multimedia and vibrant powerful and controversial art. His interposition of images superimposed by emotion and profound and subliminal messages makes Vahagns works among the forefront of expressive art. Vahagn does not shy away from expressing his contemporary views and current state of affairs projected in his works. His messages, artistic juxtaposition and collaborative mixed media flow through his works as a powerful yet seamless, disciplined and mature beautifully crafted art.
Vahagn is one to watch as he bursts further into the scene of contemporary art.
