About
Guevorg is a Franco-Armenian visual artist who lives and works in France.
The process of creation for him is an encounter between knowledge controlled by consciousness and chance directed by the subconscious. His work must be idealistic, carrying a message, whatever the media used, but the most important thing for him is that it touches our sensitivity and provokes emotions through our associative imagination. His work as an artist consists of sublimating reality and materializing it through shapes and colors into an unreal substance. The real like the world existing around us and the unreal like the imaginary world. Imaginary but not fortuitous despite appearances. These two parallel worlds are linked by analogies.
INSPIRATION
Passionate about the wonders of nature, he draws his inspiration from the underwater world, fascinated by its rich color palette and mind-blowing shapes. Through his works he tries to capture a moment of a world from elsewhere, of an imaginary world full of unreal creatures which interact with each other and metamorphose but
do not destroy each other.
PAINTINGS
Guevorg's abstract painting invites us to get lost in a supernatural world.
Between the microscopic world and the macroscopic world, Guevorg's paintings offer a glimpse of strange worlds, both distant and close to us, imaginary and real.
The work is contrasted between matte and glossy, the painting is in relief, the colors are vibrant on the dark background.
Guevorg creates his works and presents them in series, he names them according to the principle of exoplanets.
SCULPTURES
In sculpture as in painting, his creations tickle the associative imagination. Indeed, his colorful abstract canvases and molten plastic sculptures have an evocative power. Free to interpretation, they offer a glimpse of the marine life that populates the abysses, extraterrestrial life or even a cluster of supernovas.
WATERCOLORS
Water, source of life - "aqua" - vital material for all forms of life. Guevorg likes working with water because it is a living substance which allows him to create light and transparent images of biomorphic shapes with soft contours and fantastic mixtures of colors.
GRAPHICS
Guevorg's graphic works are produced on paper or canvas, often with mixtures of materials such as silicone, they are abstract or figurative, evoking a mystical and supernatural world, strange and surreal creatures.

SCULPTURES assemblage 2010 - 2012
For the creation of his sculptures he used the assemblage technique. Unexpected mixtures, both in terms of periods, styles, and in terms of techniques and materials used, through metamorphoses of shapes and the assembly of objects, through associative symbolism and diversion of objects, he tries to introduce a plural look at existence and civilization.
