Born 1998

Multidisciplinary artist working across painting, ceramics, textiles and community–based practices.

Rooted in Armenian cultural memory, her work explores the intersections of mythology, craft traditions, intimacy and collective experience. Through material experimentation and participatory projects, she investigates how cultural narratives are transmitted, transformed and reimagined in the present.

Alongside questions of heritage, her work frequently explores contemporary forms of communication and emotional connection. Fragments of conversations, messages, screenshots, unfinished texts, and symbols of exchange often appear throughout her paintings, ceramics, and installations, creating encounters between ancient systems of transmitting knowledge and the everyday languages of the digital age.

Through these layered material processes, her work explores how memories, stories, and emotions are carried, altered, and shared across generations, places, and communities.

Situated between heritage and contemporary experience, her practice reflects on how people continue to seek connection, transmit meaning, and create belonging through evolving forms of communication, from oral traditions and carved stone reliefs to personal messages and digital exchanges.
