Premordial tree by Var Sahakyan
France
The inspiration for the premordial tree came from the idea of going to the roots and embracing something archetypal and ancient. This is reflected in the choice of the black as the tree collor and the white as the background. The entire design is one monolyth shape and through this viewer is invited to perceive the piece as one. Even if the eye will start at any one corner the gravity of the center will pull the viewer's eye back to see the whole.
About Var Sahakyan
Creation and art for me are the basis of meaning of life. Therefore the thing I enjoy most in art is the creation of something new, something that doesn't exist. In this sense, I embrace with great pleasure abstraction in arts. The passgae below taken from my artistic statement describes mY approach to art.
"It is the freedom in the process of creation that liberates the artist. To know if he created art, the artist has to come out of the process of creation liberated, surprised and with a discovery. Thus it is not a brush, hand or eye that the artist works with – but freedom."
