A life in pigment
and plaster.
Ovsep Gasparyan was born in Armenia and spent his formative years in Russia before crossing the Atlantic to make his home in the United States. He began painting at fifteen and pursued formal training in both the architectural and fine arts.
Over more than three decades of professional practice, his hand has moved comfortably between disciplines — from intimate oil portraits worked from photographs and live sittings, to wall-spanning murals and architectural ceilings commissioned for residences and businesses across Europe, California, and now the Atlanta metropolitan area.
He works in the classical idiom, the modern, and the abstract — letting the character of each space and subject determine the language. The thread running through it all is a craftsman's respect for the surface: the canvas, the plaster, the ceiling overhead. They each get the treatment they deserve.
