“To my deep conviction, a human has to pass a long way during his life, yet he is formed as a personality only when he unites his soul and roots with his culture and national lifestyle.”

— Lusik Agouletsi

Lusik Agouletsi Samvelyan was born in Agoulis, Nakhijevan, in 1946. In 1953 her family moved to Yerevan. After studying art and painting she participated in a number of exhibitions and received many awards, including the Movses Khorenatsi Medal, which was given to her in 2010 by President Serj Sargsyan. I was recently able to spend time with this fascinating artist and record some of her reflections on her life and interests.>>>
