Avetyan's creative cornerstone is the desriable quality of
synthetically thinking, which is able to uncover new and unknown
emotional and meaningful borders in the regular painting.
The secret is not in the use of possible variants of
artistic metal-working, with which the decorative art is so
rich, but in the unprecedented generalizations of colour-plastic
language in a painting's material foundation, conveying to
Avetyan's works a surprisingly deep and inclusive sonority
peculiar to symphonies.
