Description
Comes with signed certificate of authenticity.
"Behind the Scenes" is a striking sculpture crafted from iron and set on a travertine base, measuring 53x26x12 cm and weighing 4.8 kg. This thought-provoking piece captures the essence of hidden emotions, unseen struggles, and the duality of personal and public identity. The intricate wire figure emerges from a mesh curtain, symbolizing the fine line between concealment and revelation. The textured travertine base adds a sense of grounding, contrasting beautifully with the delicate yet resilient metalwork. A profound addition to any contemporary collection, this sculpture invites deep reflection on perception, vulnerability, and truth.
Presentation
Karen Axikyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia, in 1963. He has always loved art and lives there. At different periods of his life, Karen Axikyan was interested in different spheres of art. First he drew oil paintings, then he started painting beautiful batik scarves, and then he moved on to the amazing world of sculptures.
In short, he is interested in everything related to art. For the past 15 years, he has been creating metal sculptures. It is said that he has a huge zoo with his different and wild animals. As Karen Axikyans says, he does not decide which animal what type of emotion the sculpture should have, he decides its emotion. Without having any cultural education, he was always in art, the only education he received was the artist who was his neighbor and he generally spent his time following the artists' works.
Karen Axikyan says metal is an instrument through which she can convey her emotional states. When creating a sculpture, her soul seems to be cleansed. Her latest collection is called "Little World" because the sculptures are so small they can fit in the palm of her hand.
