Artist Statement:
Art for me is the best way for
understanding the world and
myself, a kind of inner
conversation or meditation.
The most exciting aspect of
this process is when someone
else tries to interpret my
images, often seeing things in
the work that I never thought
of myself, thus carrying on
this conversation and taking
it to another level. My work
tends to focus on the
evolution of human being, on
who we are and what we could
be, the true alchemy of
spirit, the magic of creation,
the transformative force of
love. Some people describe my
art as “fantasy art”,
“symbolism”, or sometimes even
“surrealism”. I try to avoid
any labels and just depict the
reality of some inner space –
a unique world that makes us
who we are.
In most of my works I use
traditional graphic art
mediums, such as Indian ink,
graphite, soft and oil
pastels, and color pencils,
sometimes mixing different
materials and experimenting
with new textures and
techniques. Some of my recent
works include acrylic on
canvas and digital
compositions.

Reviews for Sona Babajanyan:
|
|
|
“Sona creates her own world of myth and magic filled with strange creatures and miraculous events. Her works border between realistic and phantasmagorical, reflecting the realism of the dream. Sona’s art being influenced by the modern and medieval, by the East and the West, remains exclusively individual.”
“The public of every country familiar with Sona’s art must be enchanted with enigmatic world of her drawings. Tender and defenseless, her images penetrate straight inside your soul, while still somehow hiding, feeling the cold of a hostile stranger.”
