Suren Mkrtchyan was born in Georgia , in Tbilisi in 1952. One year later, the family moved to the capital of Armenia - Yerevan, where he spent his childhood and youth . Father - chief director of the Yerevan Theater. Sundukian mother - a doctor . Suren has grown in an atmosphere of love for art, worship theater, music, painting. To nine years, he learned to play the violin, then enrolled in art school . Kodzhayana . After school, Suren entered the Arts and Theatre Institute in Yerevan.

After graduating artist arrives in Moscow hoping to show off, to join the Union of Artists . Instead, he lost 10 years of life, served in the army , on his return , " shooting angles " ( no place to live ) , did not work in their specialty, to somehow survive . Engaged graphics, since there was no place to paint .

One day, after another " exile " from the apartment , Suren met his future wife, who played perhaps a decisive role in his life. To celebrate, he works 14-16 hours a day, stopping only to work out with dumbbells - here , among the canvases and paints. This modest joy replaced it with all the charms and temptations of city life , which he eschews so far, not even taking part in the " get-togethers " of his colleagues , mandatory for any artist 's career . " ( From the biography of S. Mkrtchyan. Author - Artist Vitaly Wolf ) .

The colorful and expressive paintings Suren Mkrtchyan for external restraint and poise hides sadness and unspoken anxieties . Sometimes the people in his portraits discern the features are not too attractive character , yet it is these " cons " give the appearance of humanity . Expressivity of these works is based on the surprising ability to keenly see in a person human . Suro - by biting , accurate , and exalted in strength , in my opinion, he has no equal .
