Olesya (2017) Painting by Galust Mkhitaryan

I was born in 1959 in the city of Kirovakan, Armenian SSR and in 1985 owing to the military service moved to Saint Petersburg, Russia. I worked on a synthetic fibre plant, participated in liquidation of nuclear power plant accident in Chernobyl wherefore was awarded by medal for lifesaving. I was into painting since my childhood but started to do it professionally in 2007 dedicating all my time to this passion. I paint according to my spirit without adhering to any certain style.  

In 2012 the Union of Russian Artists organized my personal exhibition on the subject "Revival of Armenia".

That same year the Museum of Everything bought my 13 works.

In 2015 I participated in exhibition "Window to France. Norman Form" in the city of Fourges, France.

On 9 May, 2016 I exhibited my works in Saint Petersburg Artists Union Exhibition Centre on the show commemorated to the Victory Day.
