“Whatever concepts that I cannot express through language all flow through me into my painting. In that moment, it becomes my connection – a lifeline to everything and everybody. The separation between me and everything else is healed; the gap between the past, present and future is bridged. My work is a very personal part of myself.
It’s where my psyche and spirituality dance together. It transcends time, space and connects to the infinite. I can say that it’s a religious experience for me.”

- Vazken Kalayjian

“I try to approach painting as if looking through a mirror, thoroughly ageless and mindless. When objects appear before a mirror, they are shown as beautiful or ugly. Everything is revealed as it is. There is no discriminating mind or self-consciousness on the part of the mirror. If the object disappears, the mirror lets it,
with no traces left behind.”
