A big pleiade of famous Armenian artists were working close together with Avagyan. Among his nearest studio friends were talentive artists Arakel Arakelian (1929-1990), Mikael Giurjian (1935-1995), Hamlet Minasyan (1923-1995), Karlen Roukhikyan (1926-2004) and many others. Avagyan was well known amongst his friends as a master of portrait and beautiful realistic landscapes.
In spite of his age the author continues and develops traditional classic school of realistic painting sometimes coming to impressionism in genre of thematic painting, portrait, landscape and still-life. High professionalism and author’s artistic culture enables him to create pictures of different genres, from historical battle canvases and portraits to still-lives and landscapes which conduct the real breath of the time.
Among his recent interesting works were “Bacchus Women”, devoted to 2000 anniversary of Armenian theatre, “ The battle of Sardarapat”, “Davit Bek" many and others.
