tireless worker, Papikyan years honed instinct of the painter. His life took place in the conquest of lifeless canvas and irrepressible element of color. The artist explained: "... on an easel a blank white canvas, and this is a mystery: perhaps it is hidden most treasured picture which everyone wanted to write, a picture which will be born in pain, then walking on air, then plunging into despair."
Romantic landscapes and still lifes Papikyan full of poetry and a sense of proportion. In them - not a drop of deliberate, contrived, calculated on the external effect. His bright impasto paintings across a variety of colors and expression surprising calm harmony of the whole. Subjects are diverse - just not repeated and spectacular solutions wizard. Whatever the artist depicted - the majestic mountain and valley Armenian, Russian expanses, or simple household items - his attention entirely absorbed by finding a single correct combination of colors, combinations - in each case unique. Master used to say that the purpose of painting in the painting itself. His hand is miraculously filled with sunlight every object on which to view the artist's love stopped: the hut, pan, and a cap mushroom. His paintings - a hymn to life, expressed in paint.
