Armenian General Assembly in Damascus hosted an exhibition titled “When Colors Speak”

The headquarters of the Armenian General Assembly in Damascus hosted an exhibition titled “When Colors Speak,” by amateur artist Jirair Parosalian, who transformed a journey of suffering into abstract paintings that exude optimism.

The exhibition includes 40 paintings that he had drawn over two years, using an acrylic painting technique that gives his works a vivid and colorful intensity, where colors intertwine to form a visual dialogue with the viewer.

The works in the exhibition are divided into several themes: destruction that breeds optimism. One painting depicts fire and ashes as a symbol of the end of a phase and the beginning of a new one.

Another work reflects the desertification that has swept through Syria, yet its details contain subtle hints of a coming greening.

The artist presents the idea of ​​the continuity of life through paintings that depict daily traffic, or that feature flowing colors that seem like a never-ending pulse.

The artist also presents colorful messages to viewers, allowing them to interpret each painting as they see fit. Parosalian

to sum up, the artist’s first exhibition, which was organized by the Association’s Women’s Committee over three days, conveyed a silent message about the resilience of the Syrian people during and after the years of war imposed by the former regime on Syria and its people, who have proven their ability to overcome difficulties.
