I was born in Yerevan, Armenia. I am a linguist by profession, having graduated with a Masters degree in Linguistics from Yerevan State University and now a Senior Professor of Spanish Language at the Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan.
​
I have always pursued my creative passion in art, painting, mixed media, writing music and lyrics, and singing.
​
I have created unique and whimsically designed mini collages from old Soviet watch parts inherited from my watchmaker grandfather, who used to teach me to repair watches when I was a child. At the beginning of 2015, I decided to bring life to my childhood and make collages in memory of my grandfather. My projects emerge from my rich imagination to create miniature stories. My works were exhibited in Naregatsi Art Institute in Armenia, AGBU Sydney, Art-Aquarium at Russian-Armenian University, the Folk Art museum and the Wood craft museum in Armenia.
​
My work is inspired by childhood experiences of observing my watchmaker grandfather bring time to life. I was mesmerised by the interconnected nature of clock mechanisms and amazed at the precision and the meticulous attention to detail required in this craft.
​
Similarly to my fascination with constructing a timepiece from scratch, I love seeing springs and gears come to life and capture feelings, concepts and experiences. I use old watch parts and fabric to recreate memories and capture everyday experiences through anchoring them in the concept of time. "Time Management, "The Music of All Times", "Time to Slow Down", "Grandma's Times, "The Timekeeper, "Teatime, "Let the Good Times Roll", "Jazz Time", "The Mask of Time", "Cutting Time", amongst others. These are the titles of my artworks that weave the idea of time into everyday experiences.
​
Using vintage watch parts, I enjoy highlighting these little treasures with creative fantasy, preserving them, giving them a new life and in a sense, making them and the moments they represent "timeless."
​
In 2018, I was awarded the honorary title of Master of Armenian Folk Art (ÔºÕ¸Õ²Õ¸Õ¾Ö€Õ¤Õ¡Õ¯Õ¡Õ¶ ÕŽÕ¡Ö€ÕºÕ¥Õ¿ / Zhoghovrdakan Varpet) by the Armenian Ministry of Education and Arts, recognising my exceptional craftsmanship and contribution to preserving Armenia’s cultural heritage.
