Currently, he resides in Warm Mineral Springs (Florida), where he continues to paint in his private studio. His works were presented in the prestigious Lloyd Shin Gallery, in Warsaw, USA and Monaco. He is a laureate of many important awards. He said - Painting is my world and the sun fills me with wonder. I have been painting since my childhood. The rough Armenian nature, the sun, mountains and stony landscape have always been my inspiration. Although I have been living in Poland for ten years, which I regard as my second fatherland, the sun of Armenia has a great meaning to me. Those who know Armenia may think that my pictures are too colorful, but my fatherland is such. It is still with me and influences my painting. Every artist who creates participates in the cultural and social life of the country. By his creation, he tries to raise and to improve man’s view of the world and human relationships. He attempts to awake people's sensitivity to all phenomena of the world in which we live.
