Bio:
An Armenian-born artist currently working out of Los Angeles, Nika Arminé is one of those rare and enviable souls who heard her life’s calling at a very early age. At just four years old, she sketched an impromptu portrait of her father while her parents were busy entertaining friends.
An unassuming child, Arminé thought little of her drawing and soon went about her play. The party came to a halt however, when the adult guests in the room - several of whom were artists themselves - saw and were captivated by the portrait. The young girl was a naturally-gifted artist. Arminé remembers this day well, as it marked the beginning of her lifelong artistic journey.
Following several years and shows as a young creative, Arminé’s formal art education began at age fourteen at the Terlemezian College of Fine Arts in Yerevan, Armenia.
Arminé put on her first solo exhibition when she was fifteen years old, and many more soon followed, including throughout Armenia, in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Paris, Berlin and London, just to name a few.
In 1997, she was invited to Edgar Chahine’s museum in Orne, France for a summer residency. There, Arminé studied the master’s etching techniques while also working on two forthcoming solo exhibitions of her own.
She then moved to a Parisian studio where she continued working on her exhibitions. Her series of oil paintings titled “The Fifth Element” were created during that time and shown in May of 1998 in Paris. A second exhibition in Honfleur soon followed, in August of the same year. The strength and recognition of these showings marked the beginning of her career as a professional artist.
From the beginning of her career, Arminé displayed an interest in subject matter of every kind, and demonstrated a great stylistic versatility that enabled her to work in several styles at once.
In 2000, soon after receiving her Masters of Fine Arts degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Yerevan, Arminé moved to Los Angeles where she continues her creative work. This has included numerous paintings and series, including “What it Takes”, “Caliber” and “Colors and Nature of Artsakh”.
Arminé uses of a broad range of painting and drawing techniques, a variety of styles in her work - all combined to harmonious effect. Her versatility and openness to experimentation are part of what makes her creative output so appealing and compelling.
Arminé’s work has received numerous awards and certificates of recognition, and her art can be found in both public and private collections around the world. Her artistic expression, growth and training continues, and Arminé plans on maintaining that momentum for many years to come, grateful for the opportunity to share her creativity with the world.

- Impressionist Painting of a Bohemian Woman Budapest 1925 Bertha De HellebranthLocated in Rochester, NYBohemian woman Budapest, Hungary 1925 by Bertha De Hellebranth. Fabulous period painting brings to life the bohemian intelligentsia of Europe in the 1920's. I believe the painting is of the artists sister Elena Maria De Hellebranth. Both sisters were accomplished artist and worked and exhibited together. See the photo of the sisters Elena on the left and Bertha on the right. Oil on canvas. In a period frame. Signed lower right. Inscribed on reverse. Provenance: label from Newman Galleries Philadelphia. BIOGRAPHY ; Bertha de Hellebranth and her sister Elena were born into a cultured upper-class family in Budapest, Bertha in 1899, Elena in 1897. Their father was a lawyer and their mother a student of Franz Liszt's last living pupil. Both sisters showed artistic potential early, beginning to paint at four or five years of age. Their parents encouraged them, and had the means to send them to the best art schools of the time. They studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and painted portraits of European nobility. As Patricia Fazekas points out, "Growing up in a family of privilege, they seemed to have unusual access to many illustrious people." So we should not be surprised to find among their subjects members of high society, such as Count Andrássy Gyula, the Russian-born Princess Baby Galitzine, and Admiral Horthy Miklós, the Regent. Later on, their subjects included American heiress Gladys Vanderbilt (Countess László Széchenyi), President Theodore Roosevelt's granddaughter Paulina Longworth and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Often, the sisters would paint the same subject at the same time, offering the sitter a choice of portraits. Most often, the sitter wanted both renditions.While Elena concentrated on working in oil and watercolor, Bertha used gouache and oil to achieve her effects. Elena gave lectures and workshops, was a writer and also wrote popular and ecclesiastical music, while Bertha also went in for sculpture and handicrafts.From the mid-thirties until World War II, Bertha and Elena divided their time between their home in Budapest and a home on the ocean at Ventnor, NJ. In 1925, they showed their work at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest, and in 1926, they had a joint exhibition of their portraits in the US. Both exhibited their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and most major museums and galleries in the US. Bertha also had exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Bertha and Elena were Fellows of the Royal Society of Art (London), and garnered numerous prizes. Bertha was awarded First Prize by the National Academy of the American Water Color Society one year, and the Grand Prize of the Audubon Society. She was one of the founders of the now defunct World League of Hungarian Artists Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Képz?m?vészek Világszövetsége), and received a Gold Medal from the Cleveland Árpád Akadémia in 1963. (Elena also received the Akadémia's gold medal in 1965.) Their work is found in museums and galleries too numerous to mention.The de Hellebranth sisters were devout Catholics, and this is evident in their many portraits of clerics...Category
