For creativity to Sarkisov - it's not the continuation of life, as essential and inalienable part of it. He lives to write, but not vice versa.
In 1945 he entered the Azerbaijan State Art College named after A. Azim-Zade, from which he graduated five years later, specialty decorator Executive. The works in the theater for him not found, and he had to settle for custom-made portraits. Since 1953, he participated in national exhibitions, in 1961 admitted to the Union of Artists. Despite the absence of her own studio, he works hard and in 1968 opened his personal exhibition in Yerevan Art Workers. The exhibition was visited, leaving flattering to the author's opinion, Martiros Saryan - living classic of Armenian painting.
But any attempt by a style homogenized national style, he did not take.
Since his first exhibition in Yerevan beautiful gift Sarkisov markedly strengthened, and his new exhibition in the spring of 1973 made an impression on artists and art lovers. It would seem, Sarkisov resolutely turns left. Since the mid seventies final shape picturesque system Sarkisov, clearly revealed his personal contribution to the art. For him, the very 1975-1990-ies - the time of continuous creativity, the gradual awareness of his special place in the contemporary art process.
what was not. This insincerity may give temporary success, but later deception still open. Always thought that the important thing for an artist to create their personal, through suffering and execute quality. Last - the main thing. Falk and Tyshler, and Modigliani were not avant-garde of his time, but they stayed.
That Sarkisov born colorist, you can guess and by the early works of the master. The element of color - this is his element.
Without being the warehouse of his talent pure landscapes or still-life master, Sarkisov virtuoso cope with any of these tasks. But his main achievement lies in another sphere.
The sense of continuity of life, slowly flowing and everlasting life is not confined to a particular motive.
Being created by their reality - not only the object image, but also an expression of his subjective feelings, the world really does exist, and both born the imagination, a fusion of observations of the artist and the flight of his imagination.
These real-surreal paintings do not lend themselves to unambiguous interpretation. But they are not like the visual charades other modern metaforistov, often seeking to deliberate sense of uncertainty to a complex semantic game.
In the last few years (90-e years) increase in the expression of color and passed plastic hand. Vzaimopronikaya and interacting, they reinforce each other, making much won the whole.
There is no division into objects and background, and there is a single tsvetoprostranstvennaya Wednesday tsvetoplasticheskoe knit unit.
Over the years, in the work of Yuri Sarkisov markedly increases beginning subjectively lyrical.
The tragedy of a general feeling of life, paid a painful tension and drama of spiritual searching his own biography, creative courage of the artist, ready to tell people about it, predetermined mournfully alarming sound of most of his paintings.
By today's relaxedness tsvetoplasticheskogo thinking artist did not come immediately. And it ensures the natural growth of his pictorial art.
It has long been observed that beyond all is a solitary traveler. But it is hardly right, and many attractive way, which he Torit. One must be very confident in the rightness of the chosen direction, so adamantly believe in the uniqueness and correctness of their path. Energy sarkisovskih paintings spiritual properties: each of the pictures contain some sort of psychological charge, with a narrow range of feelings it seems. Among the dominant states - sadness, melancholy, brooding, introspection - it gave reason for writing about works of art critics Sarkisov find a dominant feature of his art poeticized sadness - like the devil inherent in the Armenian national character. His paintings are bright, as bright sun or the sea, surrounded by a blue mist. It makes us feel a sense of spaciousness and freedom ... Sarkisov as creator can turn life into an eternal holiday, and thus bring us joy. In 1970-1980-s of his works fall into a number of art collections storage then Soviet Union: The Museum of Modern Art in Komsomolsk on Amur, State Museum of Oriental Art (Moscow), National Gallery of Armenia, Art museums in Saratov, and Ulyanovsk.
