Rudik Petrosyan
Biography
Rudik Petrosyan
By Victor Forbes
On a recent visit to his studio, entering his space, one is treated to an array of work that runs from the most intricately depicted traditional icons to life-size portraits of Archbishops, saints, and revered leaders of the Orthodox Church.
These are remarkable not only for their artistic execution, but for the sheer generation of emotion and power imbued in each. Is it possible to express such optimistic hope and spiritual fruits in a brushstroke? To carry it to completion in a single painting? To extend it to a lifetime’s body of work?
In Rudik Petrosyan’s case, the answer is an unequivocal yes. There is truth and beauty in these works, like reading a Psalm.
