Karen Axikyan, a contemporary Armenian sculptor, has navigated various realms of artistic expression throughout different periods of his life. His artistic journey began with oil paintings, then expanded to the creation of exquisite batik scarves before eventually immersing himself in the captivating world of sculptures. Axikyan's diverse interests within the sphere of art reflect an unwavering passion for creative exploration.

Over the past 15 years, Karen Axikyan has devoted himself to crafting remarkable metal sculptures, forming what seems like a vast zoo of different and wild animals. His sculptures emanate a unique emotional quality, with each piece seemingly determining its own expression, an approach that adds an element of spontaneity to his creative process. Despite lacking formal cultural education, Axikyan's artistic sensibilities were nurtured by a neighboring artist, whose work served as a guiding influence during his formative years.

For Karen Axikyan, metal serves as a transformative instrument, allowing him to convey his emotional states through the medium of sculpture. The act of creating these intricate metal pieces becomes a cathartic experience, cleansing his soul in the process. His latest collection, aptly named "Little World," features sculptures of diminutive size, small enough to be cradled in the palm of one's hand.

Axikyan's artistic contributions have been showcased extensively across the country, and his sculptures have earned a place in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Armenia.
