Arthur Khachar's Gallery - Artist Biography

About myself

I am Khachar (Arthur Khachatryan), the painter from Armenia. I am working mainly with oil and acrylic paints and consider French impressionists as my teachers.

I spent my childhood in village Orgov not far from Yerevan. So that’s why such major part of my creative work is dedicated to countryside life.

The love to Fine Art I have inherited from my father. He was amateur painter and I got my first knowledge of painting from him. Besides, in my school years I attended painting classes in Yerevan House of Architectors. From my childhood I decided to become a professional painter.

Then I continued my education in Armenian Pedagogical University at the faculty of painting. I had 2 personal exhibitions and participated many times in group exhibitions during my student’s years.

Afterwards I have displayed my works on 4 personal exhibitions in the best Armenian Fine Art Galleries: Narekatsy, Art Bridge, Hay Art.

Some times I have been interviewed on Armenian National TV, newspapers and Art magazines.

Many of my paintings now is placed outside of Armenia - in USA, France, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom...

These are some comments about my works from Armenian media:

“The majority of Kahchar`s canvases are devoted to native landscapes and highland, smiling and sunshining hues reveal painter’s melancholic and lyrical essence”.

“The palette of Khachar is rich and coloured: violet, pink, yellow and the hues of blue are combined in canvases representing the beauty of nature according to painter’s perception”.

“By landscapes of Khachar we come close to native nature. It’s said, that the more you strive for nature, the more you come close to God. These canvases remind us that love and care for nature is a supernatural sensation. By the virtue of painter’s emotions and colors of canvases we come close to nature and man-nature relationships become more meaningful”

In my paintings I use only high class mediums and materials.
