Title: Echo
Commissioner: Svetlana Sahakyan, Head of Modern Art Department, Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia
Curator: Armen Yesayants
Artist: Nina Khemchyan

The artist shares with us her vision of Mesrop Mashtots‘ work, a sensitive and contemporary interpretation of an essential creation that has gone beyond the borders of Armenia to become a part of the world cultural heritage, adorning the Armenian poetry with her own style and singularity.

Mashtots is a fundamental figure in the history and culture of his country. A spiritual leader, founder of Armenian sacred music. The poet’s essential heritage has inspired the artist in her oeuvre, for a long time. In the last years through numerous researches, Khemchyan has woven a spiritual link with the author, aiming to perpetuate his heritage in modern era.
