Artwork location: Armenia
This arresting portrait captures the viewer's attention with its minimalist yet expressive style. The artwork showcases a woman's face featuring strong, deliberate brush strokes that convey a sense of both vulnerability and resilience. The subject’s slightly downcast eyes, painted with a stark monochromatic palette, draw attention to her introspective expression. Her hair, cascading in dark, textured waves, frames her face, creating a stark contrast between the luminous quality of her skin and the surrounding darkness. Executed in a grayscale spectrum, the painting displays remarkable depth despite its limited color scheme. This technique emphasizes the woman's delicate features, highlighting the subtle nuances of her gaze and the contours of her face. The subdued background ensures that the focal point remains on the subject, allowing the viewer to connect more deeply with the contemplative mood of the piece. Created in 2016, as indicated by the artist’s signature at the lower right corner, this artwork embodies both contemporary sensibilities and timeless emotional depth. The artist's skillful manipulation of light and shadow, combined with the empathetic rendering of the subject, results in a composition that is both haunting and profoundly engaging. This piece is a remarkable testament to the power of portraiture to convey complex emotional states with simplicity and elegance.

Presentation
Guy Ghazanchyan is a contemporary Armenian painter and sculptor, born in 1991 in Yerevan into a family of renowned artists. The son of painters Gagik Ghazanchyan and Lilit Soghomonyan, and grandson of sculptor Nona Gabrielyan, he was immersed in a rich and stimulating artistic universe from a very young age.
He studied painting at the Armenian State Academy of Fine Arts from 2007 to 2013, graduating with the highest distinction, the Eduard Isabekyan Prize, for his work I Know Where It's Flying. In 2012, he was selected for a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, an experience that marked a turning point in his artistic career.
Ghazanchyan's work explores profound themes such as freedom, identity, and collective memory, often through expressive portraits and symbolic compositions. His major series include Behind the Walls (2016), awarded the Presidential Youth Award; AKANates (2021), exhibited at the Yerevan Museum of Modern Art; and IUVENIS (2022), which celebrates contemporary Armenian youth.
His works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions around the world, including in Washington DC (Traveling Without Moving, 2017), Rome (Subconscious is Freedom, 2025), Zurich, Naples, Groningen, Beirut, and Los Angeles. In 2019, he became a member of the Artists' Union of Armenia.
