Space Ruins

Piece description from the artist

Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” We devote a great part of our lives to gaining knowledge, while simultaneously neglecting our imagination . We were never taught how to use our imagination, and the repetition and banality of modern life gradually deactivates our imagination. However, imagination is still the only thing in us that is infinite. Our life, energy, and knowledge are limited; therefore we need to unlock our limitless imagination and set it in motion.
How can we activate our imagination? Well, let’s imagine that everyone has a brand new car parked in their driveway but they don’t have the key. Although the cars can travel for thousands of miles, they can’t move an inch because there is no key. Not only do we all need a key, we need the right key that will activate our specific car. Either that or a bump key, a key that can open any lock.
This revolutionary painting method is the bump key to everyone’s imagination. Now all can discover the key of their imagination and become an accomplished artist. Everyone from age 4 to 104 can master this painting process in 20 minutes. All the outsiders of the art community, can become insiders and enjoy the creative process. Painting with this method is not only pleasant, but also stimulates our imagination by creating images at the same synchronized speed with our imagination; We can become astronauts in our own head, constantly exploring new territories. The active imagination can transform all other facades of our lives, we can make the mundane more enjoyable if we apply our imagination to it.
Imagine you can be, do, and have whatever you want. What would that be like? Dose our physical existence gives us that kind of freedom? In a world where everything and everyone deteriorates, nothing is worse than letting our infinite imaginations go to waste. The best way to stimulate our imagination is to synchronize the painting.

About Hratch Isirelian

Whittier, CA

Hratch Israelian is an Armenian-American artist, inventor, writer, and animator. He introduced
the most efficient and democratic process of painting to the art world.

Early life

Israelian was born June 7, 1956, in Yerevan, Soviet Armenia (former
USSR).
He received an elementary education at K. Abovyan High School. In 1972, he laid down the
foundation for a new painting process. His work identified with Soviet
Nonconformist Art. His paintings have been displayed in the Artist Union
of Armenia and Home of Art Workers. Soviet art circles considered his
new method as a new painting style and its significant potentials were
ignored. In 1980, Israelian emigrated to the United States and the
Ministry of Culture of the USSR gave official permission to Export 115
of his paintings which went through intense scrutiny for possible
espionage.

Artist and Inventor

The paintings Israelian created in the 1970s have been in contact with the turning points of modern history, but they remain ignored. Hispersonal talents and skills are not in question here. Israelian’s art is about other people’s infinite imagination and hidden talents, and his job is to make the painting process easy
and affordable so everyone can try. Israelian invented a new painting process that manually produces maximum speed,
size and quality, with minimal cost and labor. From 1996 Israelian started writing an epic poem, called "Bread and
Wine.” The book tides the contemporary cinematic genres to the literary
traditions of the deep past. From
2002 Israelian worked on the staging of his epic poem through 3D animation
by creating all 100 characters as high-resolution digital sculptures.
Israelian lives and works in Los Angelos.
