Welcome back to Foundations with Larisa Hovannisian. Today, I’m joined by Tigran Tsitoghdzyan — world-renowned painter, Armenian soul, and master of introspective realism. Known for his hauntingly layered “Mirror” series, Tigran’s work explores visibility, identity, and the blurred boundaries between self and world. Born in Yerevan and based in New York, he carries Armenia in his brushstrokes while speaking a global visual language. In this episode, we explore the foundations of Tigran’s creative world, the philosophical questions that fuel his art, and what it means to be both seen and unseen as an artist and as a person.
