               Agop Gemdjian is a Bulgaria-born artist of Armenian descent. Gemdjian’s works have been exhibited hundreds of times in national juried exhibitions in Bulgaria, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Canada, Russia, the United States and more, as well as in solo exhibitions and even in various television shows and films.  He uses various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking to translate his life experiences and emotions into works of art that can, in-turn, tell these stories to the viewer. He considers himself to be reaching his “artistic maturity,” and is using all if his life experiences from the past 66 years as inspiration for his work.

              Gemgjian has a deep, soulful connection with his work and strives to use his subconscious to guide his creative process, stating that the goal of his work “is to be directed by my instincts and my emotions while creating” so that his viewers may experience the world and emotions as he does. The result of this process is works of art that are both whimsical and almost childlike but also a little dark in imagery.
