The hyper-realistic paintings of Tigran Tsitoghdzyan — Enjoy these amazing portraits!

Armenia-born Tigran Tsitoghdzyan, currently based-in New York, has been painting and drawing since at his tender age of just 5 years old. He was soon discovered and propelled into the world of art, and held a solo exhibition at the age of 10. Now, having a Master of Art degree and loads of experience, Tigran creates incredibly realistic oil portrait paintings. His series titled “Mirror” featured below is not only beautifully rendered but it narrates our high-tech culture, where privacy and anonymity has considerably diminished. The portraits of women with their hands covering their faces seem to suggest that no matter what you do, you will still be exposed in the world of technology. These portraits, which he calls the technology renaissance, are part of his Millenium collection.

Enjoy these amazing photo-realistic paintings!

Artist Statement (in part):

Tigran Tsitoghdzyan was born in 1976 in Yerevan, Armenia.

Since when he was very young he passed his days painting and drawing. He found his universe when he discovered the oil paints at the age of 5.

Very soon he was noticed by Henrik Iguitian, an art critic, founder and director of Modern Art Museum and Children Art Museum in Yerevan. He organized Tigran’s first personal exhibition with one hundred works when Tigran was ten years old. The exhibition started in Yerevan, and then continued in the cities of Spain and USA. In the following years Tigran had numerous exhibitions in Armenia, Russia, West Europe and United States.
