About Martiros Martirosyan

 I was born on 28th September 1958, in Yerevan, Armenia. I have come a long way to become the artist I am now while overcoming obstacles that life prepared for me. Challenges are an excellent opportunity for growth which allows us to develop our emotional and mental strength.

 You, me, and all of us have a dream in the corner of our hearts. You want to become a doctor, I want to become an artist. Your brother has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but he ended up as a businessman; this is a phenomenon, which accompanies us during our lives. Why is it so? Why many of us have hobbies and see ourselves working in our favorite sphere, but they work and earn their living in another sphere. Why are people so afraid to follow their dreams? What makes people hold themselves back?

I am sure that’s because of the fear of failure, the absence of self-reliance, and of course the financial uncertainty about one’s future. But we live only once and to my thinking we have to make most of it without wasting the most valuable thing in our lives which is time.

I am a simple man, I had a job, I received a salary every month for years. I lived an ordinary life just as others all over the world, but deep inside I felt something is missing. I had this feeling for so many years until I finally realized, that was Art missing in my life. At some point, I decided to quit my job to go after my dream, and I would proudly say: that was the rightest thing I did in my life.

Painting has always had its place in my heart, but I’ve never had the courage to give up everything and devote myself to making art. Now I live with art, I am happy to paint and I feel like I finally found myself.

I put my heart and my soul into each artwork I create, as with my paintings I want to encourage people to follow their dreams and not be afraid of uncertainty, as a lot of amazing things are waiting for all of us in our lives. We just need to work hard and take risks to achieve our main goal: to be happy.
