And so it began for Martiros Manoukian, artist, born on August 5, 1947. His talent emerged at an early age, and he began painting seriously at age eleven. "My style is life, and I like life very much. My motif is beauty; the serenade and music are my life motif, I enjoy mixing media because art is freedom, my feelings, my victory, I do not actually know what I feel when I paint; I just paint my mood, a feeling that camera's eye cannot catch, some special, subtle angle that perhaps others would not see." His colors combine mood and movement key elements of his work. According to Martiros Manoukian, "It is like a piano player who isn't limited to one or two octaves. Instead, he uses the whole keyboard." Some works by Martiros reflect something of antiquity in his homeland, reflections of centuries-old icons of Russian Orthodoxy. Others express contemporary images. All, in one way or another, celebrate love of life and freedom. Martiros Manoukian is one of the world’s greatest artists of all time!         s Summary of My Selling Policies Payment We appreciate Paypal payments and consider it to be a great service convenience for buyers and sellers alike.
