Painting

Gods, Titans & Heroes reimagines figures from Armenian and classical mythology through expressive portraiture, symbolic colour and tactile surfaces. Rather than illustrating ancient narratives literally, the collection presents mythological figures as enduring archetypes shaped by memory, power, beauty and transformation.

Funky People is a character-driven universe of eccentric figures, contemporary narratives and unwritten stories.
Through distinctive characters, bold colour and tactile painterly surfaces, the collection explores individuality, humour, fashion, imagination and the freedom to remain unmistakably oneself.

Mer Soleil explores light, leisure, movement, freedom and the sea. Figures, open water and sunlit spaces are reduced to essential forms and vivid colour relationships, creating suspended moments between observation, memory and imagined escape.

Private Mythologies brings together original creatures, hybrid beings and personal symbols emerging from the artist’s imaginative world. The collection explores identity, instinct and transformation through figures that exist outside established mythology yet carry the presence of invented archetypes.

Animal Studies explores the physical presence, character and symbolic resonance of animals through expressive painting. Horses, bulls and other creatures are approached not as zoological representations, but as individual presences shaped by gesture, colour, tension and movement.

Armenia painted with the colours of its own earth. Armenian Earths is a series of paintings depicting Armenia through colours whose raw materials originate from the Armenian land itself.

The Armenian Earths oil colours were developed from natural coloured earths and minerals extracted in the mountainous regions of Armenia. Their mineral palette reflects the geological character of the country through ochres, earth reds, yellows, browns and muted natural tones.

In this series, subject and material are conceptually inseparable: the landscapes of Armenia are painted with colours derived from Armenia’s own earth.

Still Life brings together paintings in which fruit, flowers and everyday objects become studies of colour, material presence and quiet tension. Rather than treating the genre as decorative observation, Hasmik Chakhmakhchyan uses still life to explore rhythm, balance, texture and the emotional charge of ordinary things.
