About the artwork
A winding woodland path bathed in dappled light draws the viewer into this expressive oil study of the Glengarra River, rendered with lyrical intensity by Sevan Malikyan. Thick, impasto brushwork evokes the lush textures of Irish foliage, while the interplay of greens, ochres and soft sky tones suggests sunlight filtering through the canopy. Malikyan’s gestural style captures not only the physical contours of the landscape but its emotional resonance—an invitation to wander, reflect, and lose oneself in nature’s quiet drama. Signed lower left, the work is framed in white, enhancing its contemporary presentation.
About the Artist
Sevan Malikyan is a contemporary painter whose work blends expressive figuration with a deeply personal sense of cultural identity. Born to an Armenian–Cypriot family, his heritage informs both the emotional charge and the symbolic undercurrents of his practice. Malikyan’s paintings are built through layered, textured applications of colour, creating surfaces that feel tactile, searching, and alive. His figures often hover between abstraction and recognisable form, capturing moments of introspection, vulnerability, and human complexity. This fusion of cultural memory, emotional depth, and modern painterly technique has established Malikyan as a distinctive voice within contemporary figurative art.
