Gor Petrosyan

Gor Petrosyan is a contemporary Armenian artist and Senior lecturer of Armenian State Academy of Fine Arts.

Gor was born in 1983 in Aparan, Armenia. As a child, he attended a local art school.

From 2000 to 2006 he studied at the Art College after Panos Terlemezyan (Yerevan, Armenia).

In 2006, Gor entered the Armenian State Academy of Fine Arts, where in 2010 he received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, and then a master’s degree in 2012.

Since 2012 Gor has been a lecturer at the joint Department of Graphics and Painting of Armenian State Academy of Fine Arts. And since 2021, a senior lecturer.

Gor’s art is always positively charged and seems to radiate light. Through his art, he tries to evoke those pure emotions that we lose after childhood. His compositional works are indicative signs that suggest a way out of a dead end.

Gor masterfully owns various techniques and mediums (watercolor, tempera, graphite, charcoal, acrylic, oil), but even working with graphic materials, he tries to go towards painting.
