Maretta Aivazian

Maretta Aivazian, an Armenian artist based in Vanadzor, embodies in her practice a deeply introspective quest where art becomes both a refuge and a resonance of identity. Coming from the diaspora, she has been molded from childhood by a geographical and emotional exile, constantly confronted to a visceral nostalgia imbued with loss and the desire to return to her roots. Her work unfolds as a subtle attempt to fill this existential gap, transcending space and time, while inviting the viewer to explore the multifaceted richness of Armenian culture. Aivazian does not simply represent this culture: she reinvents it, questions it, and offers it as a bridge to collective understanding, where memory and creation intertwine in a dynamic of spiritual reunions.
