YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. People's Artists of the Republic of
Armenia Robert Elibekian presented his painting titled
`Crucifixion' to `Philosopher Catholicos John of Odzun' foundation.
The painting was created yet in 1991 and has a unique symbolical
meaning. In a conversation with `Armenpress' Robert Elibekian
stated that he was glad to make that decision, as he spent his
childhood and young years in Odzun.
`I am closely connected with Odzun,' Robert Elibekian noted. The
Director of `Philosopher Catholicos John of Odzun' foundation
Vanush Shermazanyan stated that Robert Elibekian is not just a merited
master of his work, but one of the patriarchs of the
Armenian painting.
Robert Elibekian was born into a family of artists in Tbilisi, Georgia
in 1941. He moved to Yerevan in 1956 and graduated from
Yerevan's Institute of Drama & Fine Arts in 1969. His oils, pastels,
sanguine (conté or red chalk) and ink works form an impressive
oeuvre, and he has had numerous exhibitions in several countries, both
as an individual and as part of a group. His paintings have been
influenced by his academic background, and in his creation of decors
and costumes for film, theatre and opera, like the sketches of a stage
designer, he reveals an imaginary world populated by mysterious,
fantastic and elusive characters central to our dreams and fantasies.
Elibekian has created numerous set designs and costumes for ballets,
operas. films, and plays, such as "Traviata," "Paiazio," "Gayane,"
"Andouni," and "Don Quixote." In 1982, he received the highest
distinction of his country: The Order of Merit of Armenia. His
creations
can be found in several museums and major collections: The Museum of
Modern Art in Armenia, The Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow,
The National Gallery in St. Petersburg, Tretyakov Gallery of Moscow,
The Alex Manoogian Museum in Detroit, and in the collections of the
White House and the Élysée Palace. Robert Elibekian has had many solo
exhibitions in Yerevan, Lithuania, Moscow, Beirut, and Paris.
