"Under the Shadow" is a captivating iron and tufa sculpture measuring 35x14x10cm, created in 2021. The intricate work showcases a figure seated serenely, the abstract form rendered in a delicate interplay of light and space through the wiry texture of iron. A held umbrella, an unexpected element in the composition, casts an intangible shadow, offering a contrast of protection and fragility. This sculpture is not just a physical object but a narrative in miniature, speaking to moments of quiet introspection amidst the chaos of life.

Presentation
Karen Axikyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia in 1963. He always likes art and lives in it. During different periods of his life Karen Axikyan was interested in different spheres of art. First he was drawing oil paintings, then he started to paint wonderful batik scarves and then he moved to amazing world of sculptures. In two words he is in interested in everything that is connected with art. During the last 15 years he is creating metal sculptures. It seems he has a huge zoo with its different and wild animals. As Karen Axikyans says, he doesn`t decide which animal what kind of emotion must have the sculpture itself decide its emotion. Without having cultural education he was always in art, the only education he got was the artist who was his neighbor and he was usually spent his time following the artists works. Karen Axikyan says that the metal is an instrument through which he is able to transmit his emotional states. During creating a sculpture his soul seems to be cleansed. His latest collection is called “Little world" because the sculptures are so small that they can fit in the palm. Less

His works are in exhibition-sale in several shops in Yerevan as well as in National Gallery of Armenia
