In the exhibition of young painters and sculptors that was held at the
culture and youth palace of Stepanakert on September 12, 22-year-old
Satenik Hayriyan was the youngest painter.
She began drawing since childhood and attended Art School after Hakob
Gyurjyan at the age of 9. After the art school she entered the faculty
of drawing and drafting of Artsakh State University. Today she is
preparing for the exams of the post graduate courses.
During these years the young painter managed to participate in a
number of contests and took prize-winning places of which, according
to her, the most important one was the second place won during "Baze"
all-Armenian gathering.
Satenik paints mainly portraits, landscapes and compositions. To
the question whether she manages to sell some of the paintings she
answers with a smile, "Sometimes I do".
"Besides the paintings I sell during trade exhibitions I also paint
by order. I have to earn my living," the young painter explains.
I parallel with her studies Satenik has been working at Stepanakert's
Rehabilitation Centre after Caroline Cox as a teacher of doll-making
and embroidery.
The painter specializes in dress designing as well and has twice
participated in dress modeling contests. "As the sphere of dress
designing is not developed here and any initiative implies great
expenses all my sketches remain on paper," she notes regretfully and
adds that she is not going to give up the way she chose and sees her
future in the sphere of art.
