Armen Gasparyan often depicts on his canvases mythological plots and different episodes from the past. His art works are always symbolic and have a certain idea.

The painting “Masks” is associated with Venetian carnival. In this work we notice not only the influence of old masters but also the art of Pablo Picasso.

The technique is marked by the virtuosity of the brush and the mastery of the line. The main compositional method in the paintings is the method of collage. This method allows the artist to create a parallel between the real world and the world of dreams and memories.

The colorful suite of details, bright local spots, crimson and scarlet colors, inclusions of old gold and black accents give an impression of carnival extravaganza and theatrical festivity.
