About Me
Hailing from the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem, I have forged my professional path on the bedrock of my belief in the transformative power of imagery, my fervent passion for capturing transient narratives, my love for adventure, and my deep-rooted pride in my heritage.
My journey into the realm of aesthetics began amidst the alleys of the Old City of Jerusalem, where I immersed myself in my father's craft of painting ceramics, gaining invaluable insights into the workings of small, familial enterprises. From my mother, a teacher, I inherited a profound love for imparting knowledge as a means of enriching lives. Engaged in community life, my family instilled in me the ethos of giving back, which has since become an integral part of my identity.
After a brief stint studying documentary filmmaking in Yerevan, Armenia, I returned to Jerusalem to pursue my passion for photography. There, I unleashed my boundless imagination, translating it into a myriad of eclectic images.
As an independent photographer, I have curated a diverse portfolio, collaborating with a wide array of clients ranging from telecom giants and architectural firms to musical ensembles, restaurants, museums, art centers and community organizations. My expertise spans studio and documentary photography, encompassing portraiture, events, cuisine, fashion, commercial products, architecture, landscapes, branding, graphic design, filmmaking, motion graphics, and digital marketing.
In addition to my co-founding role in 2014, I remain actively involved in ARTLAB, a cultural and creative platform dedicated to fostering artistic expression and innovation within Jerusalem's diverse communities. Specializing in multimedia and artistic projects, ARTLAB serves as a catalyst for cultural empowerment, providing professional opportunities and training for young creatives in various disciplines. By organizing workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative projects, we aim to challenge stereotypes and encourage individual expression, thereby enriching the local and international cultural landscape. Through its commitment to artistic excellence and community engagement, ARTLAB not only nurtures emerging talent but also promotes a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of Jerusalem.
In 2018, I ventured into a new chapter in Belgium, where I seamlessly continued my diverse array of pursuits. I joined the Creative Mornings community, fostering connections and creative exchanges.
From 2020 to 2022, I made my contributions to the Franco-Belgian comics industry, working with Dargaud-Lombard, where I was a content creator in Europe Comics—a pioneering digital initiative that brought together 13 prominent publishing entities across eight European nations, collaborating to develop, distribute, and globally promote an English-language digital catalog of European comics.
Today, I reside in Brussels, Saint-Gilles, and my reach extends globally. Steadfast in my dedication to artistic pursuits and community engagement.
Let's work together!
