Biography

Sarkissian was born in 1960 in Gyumri, Armenia and went to the School of Fine Arts there in 1977, then the Armenian Pedagogical University (Drawing) in 1989.[5] He now lives and works in the city of Yerevan in Armenia.[6]

Art

Sarkissian creates abstract art to show and enjoy the post-soviet freedom in Armenia. In 2005 he said that his way of painting was because he wanted to free himself from "Socialist Realism"."[7] His paintings put together oil paint, silkscreen printing, words, photographs and parts of other paintings, and other materials.[8]

His work can be seen in the Public Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Yerevan. Many private collections of art across the world also include his paintings.[9]
