Yuri Grigoryan (1965) - Vrouwen van karabach

This painting from 1991 shows a group of stylized female figures in a still, almost dreamlike composition. The artist signed as Yuri Grigoryan knows how to create a special atmosphere with a subtle palette of soft green tones, earth colours, and accents of red that expresses both melancholy and connection.

The figures are deliberately simplified and rendered almost iconically, giving the work a timeless and symbolic strength.

The title on the back, “Women of Karabakh,” suggests a cultural or regional source of inspiration, which adds an extra layer of meaning and history to the painting.

The visible brushwork gives the work tangible depth and liveliness.
