At the United Nation's Youth Short Film Competition that kicked
off in Yerevan on Friday, a young Armenian artist, Narek Avetisyan,
displayed 33 canvases featuring the famous heroine of 17th century
painter Johannes Vermeer.
By portraying Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" in the painting
styles of 33 different artists, Avetisyan attempted to reflect the
highest perceptions of the original canvass.
It took the artist four years to create the painting series. He
selected the Girl with a Pearl Earring, considering her image unique
in the history of portraits.
The competition devoted to the International Youth Day has been
organized in Yerevan since 1999. It is aimed at encouraging the youth
to change the world through art.
The exhibition will run through August 6.
