Pismo Desert Sands 02

Piece description from the artist

My paintings of mountains and landscapes play on themes of human erasure of the natural world. These monuments of earth seem impossible to destroy yet we are constantly attempting to tame and control. These fictitious landmarks are abstracted abstractions of the true thing. Frankenstein’s monster of living environments. The resulting paintings leave a sense of sublime and calm, averse to our collective thoughts on erasing the natural world. Toying with the ideas of “man vs nature” and vice versa, the goal is to deconstruct the archetype and expose intentions plainly. I visited the Dunes of Pismo Beach in Southern California in 2016. It was the first time I ever experienced the feeling of being lost in a true desert and understood how bewildering loosing your sense of place was. The only things around you are the ever shifting sands and sky above.

About Gabriel Boyajian

Washington, DC

Gabriel Boyajian, an Armenian American artist, invites you into a world where his abstract creations breathe life into a space. With a foundation rooted in crafting large scale metal sculpture, and working professionally as on award-winning interior design projects, Gabriel blends a structured architectural approach with a passion for how art and physical space can make one feel.

Each piece or series is an dialogue between the emotion in artistic expression and the innovative possibilities technology unveils. A balance between finding and holding onto a gut feeling while iterating endless possibilities.

For Gabriel, art is a narrative that invites others to embark on a shared journey of introspection. His layered end products emerge as vibrant and textured transformations, while sharing fragments of his identity, his design language, and places that resonate within him. In doing so, he aims at sparking a connection with those who encounter his work.
