Movses Poghosyan

A prominent artist born in 1974 in Yerevan, Armenia.
Movses Poghosyan’s career is regarded as a crucial link between modern and contemporary Armenian art.

Graduated from the State Pedagogical University, Faculty of Fine Art, Movses Poghosyan served as:

1998-1999 Director of School of Arts and Culture of Vanadzor Educational Complex.

1999-2000 Producing Painter of Vanadzor State Dramatic Theatre

Poghosyan’s figurative series has explored the physical and psychological effects of alienation, solitude, and longing that punctuate the human experience at various stages in life.
Partly autobiographical, this seminal body of work uses the formal properties of painting to recreate the
subconscious sense of enclosure that surfaces during different phases of life, whether in the event of
loneliness, union, inner harmony or conflict.
Movses Poghosyan’s paintings are held in many public and private collections including the Museum of H.
Tumanyan, Yerevan, Armenia, Museum of Folk Art, Yerevan, Armenia, Museum of Modern Art, Yerevan,
Armenia.
