Through the Cosmic Veil
Stone that Holds the Cosmos
- 61 x 51 cm
This painting depicts an ancient stone set in a quiet field, its weathered surface unexpectedly blossoming into a cosmic spectacle — a swirl of nebulas, distant stars, and galactic clouds emerging from the lichen and moss. The circular opening continues to frame a serene landscape, contrasting with the universe unfolding upon the stone itself. This work explores the idea that time, space, and memory are layered within matter, inviting us to glimpse infinity through the most grounded of forms.

This painting depicts a megalithic stone with a circular hole at its center, standing in an open, ancient landscape. Likely inspired by the Armenian site of Karahunj (Zorats Karer), the scene evokes a sacred connection between earth and cosmos. The central stone becomes a silent observer — its eye-like hole revealing the sky and distant horizon. Its textured surface, covered in lichen and subtle cosmic dust, blurs the line between matter and mystery. Scattered stones and grasses populate the field, while clouds drift in the background, adding to the timeless atmosphere.
Through Ancient Eyes
This series is inspired by the ancient stones of Karahunj — often called the Armenian Stonehenge. The artist focuses on the enigmatic circular openings in these megaliths, through which an endless sky appears. Each panel reveals a distinct character of the weathered, lichen-covered surfaces, as if each tells its own story of rituals, stars, and humanity’s timeless fascination with the cosmos. This triptych invites the viewer to look through the “eye” of the stone and feel the connection across ages.
