Sirarpi Heghinian - Walzer

My poetic abstractions spring from meditations on nature and from memories that are distilled into single dramatic moments. The energetic surfaces imply an ongoing tension between freedom and containment, edging the viewer closer to that place where chaos can erupt into clarity. The color white suggests notions of purity and simplicity and unifies the disparate objects. The deliberate juxtapositions of forms and exag-gerations of color choices, provide clues to content and in-terpretation. BIO Sirarpi’s artwork is in many collections nationally and in-ternationally.
