    PARAVON MIRZOYAN: STATE AWARD DETERMINES A PAINTER'S PLACE IN NATIONAL CULTURE

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 28, NOYAN TAPAN. Receiving a state award is a great
    honor to a painter: it means that the state attaches importance to
    this painter's role in national culture. This is how the director of
    the National Picture Gallery Paravon Mirzoyan, who has been recently
    given a state award, described significance of state awards for
    artists at the January 25 meeting.

    His works will be displayed in the city of Vanadzor in March of this
    year. A personal exhibition of his works will later open in Saint
    Petersburg. "I am a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Academy of
    Arts and 30 years after my graduation I want to show my paintings
    to my friends, teachers and all admirers of Armenian culture,"
    P. Mirzoyan said.

    "I paint spontaneously, when being affected by feelings. I feel fine
    when painting. Every time when I finish my next work, it seems to
    me that I have said everything. However, then again comes a state
    when I want to create something new. Perhaps this is the secret of
    a painter's creative work," he said.

    The director of the National Picture Gallery also spoke about Armenian
    national painting, pointing out that today many painters have abandoned
    national traditions and create in a "confused and incomprehensible way"
    so that they works will be sold abroad. In his opinion, whenever art
    becomes business, it is no longer art.
