Artist Sona Yeghiazaryan promises escape through simplicity.
Starting this week, the library is offering Springfield residents a
chance to take a journey into the unknown.
"Stories of Color," an exhibit of paintings by Sona Yeghiazaryan is
now on display at the library's Donald B. Palmer Museum. Yeghiazaryan,
an Armenian born artist Montclair State University graduate, says on
her website that much of her inspiration comes from music, and that
creating art is her way of "dreaming," "playing music" and more.
"To me art is a journey to the unknown world," Yeghiazaryan said in
a statement. "It reveals itself only to those willing to believe in
the world built on the irrationality of poetic souls."
She stresses that the goal of her art is connectivity and honesty.
"In my art there are no secrets, only magic that happens to those who
can fall in love with the breathtaking beauty of the simple, those
who can hear a whole symphony from a simple sound made by color,"
Yeghiazaryan said. "In my work I am showing you the simple, the
visible, so you can imagine the invisible. Here the colors will tell
you stories, the endings of which entirely depend on the inventiveness
of your mind and creativeness of your soul."
Yeghiazaryan was born in Armenia and started drawing when she was two
years old. She found success quickly, having two personal exhibitions
in pre-school. She continued her education in Fine Arts at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Yerevan, Armenia.
She graduated Montclair State University with a Bachelor's degree in
Art Education and a concentration in painting. From 1992 until the
present, she has had numerous exhibitions internationally including
shows in Armenia, Belarus and the USA. At 16 she was chosen to
participate in the International Young Artists festival in
Minsk and exhibited at the art gallery of Marc Chagall, where one of
her works was selected for the gallery's permanent collection. In
the US, she had been selected for numerous shows including the
International Artexpo, Columbia University, Cooper Union and the Pen
& Brush.
The exhibit will be up until September 1. Yeghiazaryan is celebrating
her exhibit on July 29th at a reception in the Springfield Library's
Palmer museum from 6 to 8. All are invited to attend.
