The tradition, continued

For a thousand years, Armenian monks painted light into their manuscripts. Armen Daneghyan carries that language into the present — new subjects, new questions, the same patient hand. He calls it Modern Miniature.

The Artist
“My soul speaks in melodies of color, carrying the echoes of my homeland and the mysteries of life that shaped me.”
Signature of Armen Daneghyan

A visual artist of Armenian roots, Daneghyan grows his work from the centuries-old heritage of Armenian miniature painting — and retells it through a contemporary eye. Every painting is signed by his hand and exists only once.
