Artur Mirzoyan
Artist, Director, Film Production Designer, Concept-artist
Arthur Mirzoyan is an artist who combines academic techniques with the sharp expressiveness of a key stop-frame in his work. By reinterpreting symbolic motifs from classical European art, he brings to contemporary audiences its timeless resonance. Born in Moscow in 1981, Arthur Mirzoyan received higher artistic education. He has had a successful career working as production designer and film director on numerous international cinematic projects featuring stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Valery Zolotukhin, Yura Borisov, Charles Dance etc.
Parallel to his successful career in cinema, Arthur Mirzoyan actively developed himself as a painter and participated in many exhibitions and significant venues including the Louvre (Paris), Kremlin Palace (Moscow), New Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), Consulates in Cairo and Alexandria (Egypt), India among others.
Canvas and oil paints, occasionally supplemented by gilding, are the primary medium for Arthur Mirzoyan's works. His style, refined over years, is characterized by smooth lines, precise silhouettes, and diverse deep color palette. In his paintings, the author combines voluminous figurative images with f lat and abstract elements leaning towards ornamentation. Completely non objective compositions also appear but less frequently. Moreover,
Arthur paints portraits in his own unique style. Among the owners of his portraits are such notable figures as the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, the President of Sri Lanka Anura Kumara Dissanayake, as well as actors and prominent figures in politics, culture, and science. A separate body of work consists of canvases created en plein air using alla prima technique during travels and film expeditions across Europe, Russia, China, India, and Africa.
"My artistic training and thinking were formed within traditional academic methods of painting. This shaped my style in filmmaking. Having come a long way in mass media, I want to bring into the world of classical painting what I've learned through cinema. The anticipation that something original might emerge excites me!"
The Artist's works are found in museums and private collections.
