Contact The Artist

His imaginative realism transmitted into fugitive impressions has led to an ephemeral flow of spatial relation, the outcome is a harmony in which the pleasure of color, textures, visions are a creation in reality.

Observer, Los Angeles

L’art d’Agopian est une invitation au voyage. Contempler l’une de ses oeuvres, c’est ouvrir la porte sur un ailleurs, à la foire très proche et infiniment lointain, qui emporte le spectateur vers une autre dimension tout en la ramenant à lui-même, abolissant à la fois le temps et l’espace…

Catherine Guex, Magazin’Art International, Montréal

A travers l’Oeuvre d’Agopian, on peut apprécier l’art éclaté, libre de toute contrainte. C’est une invitation à déchiffrer, questionner, s’interroger, qui ne laisse personne indifférent.

Dorval Lachine, Le Messager

The works of this gifted artist are visions that have taken a long time in being conceived. These visions have taken static forms on his canvases and are a philosophical witness of the eternal life of the instable man through the artist’s knowing application of color, lines and shades. And throughout his search for self-knowledge Agopian sheds aside influences and, getting crystal clear, goes on his way towards authenticity.

M. Zirani

Krikor Agopian’s unique style and interpretation of his mixed medias have made his works very distinct from other painters. He has sought and found lexical motifs which match our contemporary moods and sensations.
