Alexandra Manukyan Figurative Paintings
Armenian, American, b. 1963
Alexandra Manukyan (b. 1963) is an Armenian-American artist whose figurative oil paintings merge Old Master techniques with contemporary symbolism and surrealist elements. Following extensive art training in Armenia and a successful two-decade career in fashion and graphic design after immigrating to Los Angeles in 1990, Manukyan transitioned to painting full-time in 2012. Her meticulously rendered works—predominantly in oil on Belgian linen—feature powerful female figures adorned in elaborate costumes personally designed and constructed by the artist. Through a distinctive "dramatic union of contrasts," Manukyan's paintings explore human connection, feminine strength, and humanity's relationship with the natural world. Her work has been widely exhibited at galleries specializing in contemporary representational art, including Abend Gallery, Copro Gallery, and Corey Helford Gallery, and has been recognized through prominent competitions like the Art Renewal Center Salon.to

The Traveler Oil A Journey Florence Academy Oil Sunny or a Chaotic Storm
Located in Houston, TX
Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on The Traveler :
I hold a deep appreciation for the motif of the traveler. I prefer to perceive my life as a narrative in which I play the role of a traveler. Much like in life itself, this journey involves navigating through various elements and facing the challenges that life presents. At times, the journey may be characterized by sunny and pleasant moments, while at other times, it might resemble a chaotic storm. Nevertheless, there is a profound beauty woven in it all.
