The Artist
About
Davit Davtyan was born in 1985 in Yerevan, Armenia. In 2008, he graduated from the Yerevan Fine Arts Academy, dedicating himself to the rich traditions of classical realism. During and after his studies, Davit deeply explored and mastered the techniques and secrets of the old masters, refining his skills to perfection.
In 2012, he established his own art studio, where he brought his unwavering passion for art to life. Specializing in still life, Davit combines timeless beauty with exceptional craftsmanship. His works inspire and captivate, serving as a testament to the enduring legacy of classical art.
Davit currently resides in Buenos Aires with his wife and two sons.
Artist Statement
Fine art, above all, is a celebration of beauty. Preserving the classic techniques and timeless secrets of the old masters is the mission of my life. In a world where these traditions are nearly forgotten, I have dedicated myself to uncovering and reviving this invaluable heritage, one detail at a time.
For me, art is about finding beauty and divinity in the ordinary. It is not just about what we paint but how we bring it to life on the canvas. My goal is to create art that transcends time—art that captivates hearts, not because it's a wise investment (though it might be), but because it becomes a cherished treasure for those who encounter it.
By honoring the legacy of classic art, I aim to create works that evoke emotion, inspire awe, and remind us of the profound beauty in the world around us.
