"I am Hasmik Movsesyan, an artist and designer based in Yerevan, and I have been reshaping the art world since the 1990s. My creative journey began with a deep passion for exploring new techniques and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. In 1994, I held my first solo exhibition, where I presented a collection of graphic works and sculptural objects created with innovative mixed techniques. This exhibition marked the beginning of my journey into the art world, setting the stage for the evolution of my creative style.

"Over the years, my artistic exploration led me to photography, a medium that allowed me to capture and reinterpret the world around me. By 1999, I found myself transitioning into the realm of computer design, a field that offered endless possibilities for creative expression. This unique combination of photography and digital design resulted in a rich collection of graphic and polygraphic works, each piece reflecting my love for experimentation and innovation.

"Drawing on years of accumulated knowledge and experience, I set out in 2017 to reinterpret Armenian cultural heritage through wearable art, bringing the beauty of our rich history into the modern world. Inspired by the treasures found in museums, Armenian art, and cultural motifs, I began to create shawls, jewelry, bags, and blouses that seamlessly bridge the gap between tradition and contemporary design. Each piece I design carries a story—a connection to our past and a celebration of our culture.

"Today, I offer a diverse range of handmade accessories, each crafted with care and dedication to preserving and sharing Armenian culture. My work is driven by a deep love for my heritage and a desire to keep it alive through art and design. Through my work, I strive to create pieces that not only honor our past but also resonate with people today, reflecting the timeless beauty and spirit of Armenian culture.""
