"... to assess the paintings talented painter Yuri Sarkisov no particular hurry art criticism is not shown, but went on the road, which, according to Nat. Anisimova," and worse. "Tom, but had his own reasons. And not only in the real art of this master, but also in the drama of his human and artistic destiny. Minasovich Yuriy Sarkisov was born in 1928 in Baku. Here he lived for 60 years, this city is bound to his artistic formation and all subsequent work.

The tragedy of the family Sarkisov, who had left for good early in the century homes, got to the end of the century, continued in his own life. All the twists of fate M. Sarkisov, and tragic at the same time on a special happy: he was not able to move to a swept element of Spitak, where he was given an apartment with a good studio, and had time to leave Baku, had brought a large part of his work, he was unable to buy a flat and workshop in Chernivtsi and received refugee status in the United States. Fate mercilessly drives him to the world, but if saves for new achievements.
No, not mistaken, André Malraux: "Art is anti-destiny." Needless to say, the national soil and the people's fate is indeed "breathe" in the art Sarkisov, which, fortunately, does not end, not dried up over the years and misery.
Dramatic personal life materialized in the most stylistic of the flesh, becomes "the composition of the blood" of his pictorial images. For creativity to Sarkisov - this is 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, the specialty designer-performer. Works in the theater for him not found, and he had to be content with registered portraits. Since 1953, he participated in national exhibitions and in 1961 received the Union of Artists. Despite the absence of his own studio, he works hard and in 1968 opened his personal exhibition in Yerevan House of Artists. The exhibition was visited, leaving flattering for the author's opinion, Martiros Saryan - living classic of Armenian art.
In painting, Yuri Sarkisov 1970 is much more tangible Armenian "fluids": bitterness and astringency of color, roughness "clinging" and how to slow down the look of texture, compaction tsvetoprostranstvennoy environment.
But any attempt imitation of a certain average national style, he did not take.
Sarkisov (...) of rock devotees, the seekers "picturesque absolute", and issues of skill he has also linked with the ethical values.
Since his first exhibition in Yerevan picturesque talent 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, a gradual awareness of their special place in the contemporary art process.
He is not infected by the outbursts of indiscriminate "psihopatizmom novelty," which warn more RR Falk did not deliberate on the path of formal invention in an effort to stun, and somehow intrigue the audience: "I too have always felt - he said in one of his letters - that can artificially make art" under fashion, inventing something, what was not. This dishonesty may give temporary success, but later the deception is still open. Always thought that the important thing for an artist to create their personal, suffering, and to perform high 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 work of the master. The element of color - this is his element.
Not being on the cast of his talent pure landscapes or still life, Sarkisov brilliantly coped with any of these tasks. But his main achievement lies in another sphere.
The sense of continuity of life, slowly flowing and ever-continuing existence is not limited to a specific motive.
Inflict them a reality - not only the object image, but also an expression of his subjective feelings, the world really does exist, and while the game was born of imagination, an alloy of observations of the artist and the flight of his imagination.
These real-surreal paintings do not lend themselves to unambiguous interpretation. But they do not like the visual charades other modern metaforistov, often seeking to deliberate sense of uncertainty to a complex semantic game.

In recent works (90-e years) increase in the expression of color and passed plastic hand. Mutually penetrating and interacting, they reinforce each other, why has a better and a whole.
There is no division into objects and background, and there is a single tsvetoprostranstvennaya Wednesday, welded tsvetoplasticheskoe whole.
Over the years in the works of Yuri Sarkisov markedly increases beginning subjectively lyrical.
The tragedy of the common sense of life, paid a painful strain of spiritual quest and drama own biography, creative courage of the artist, ready to tell people about this, predetermined mournfully alarming sound of most of his paintings.
By today's relaxedness tsvetoplasticheskogo thinking artist did not come immediately. Always anxious qualitativeness his paintings, he gradually came to increasingly complex colorful orchestration, achieving a coherent set of audio tones, what is called "single color tone of pictures. And this pledge of the natural growth of its expressive culture.
It has long been observed that all goes on a lone traveler. But it is hardly right, and many attractive way, which he Torit. Must be very confident of the correctness of the chosen direction, so adamantly believe in the uniqueness and correctness of their path. Not spoiled by early successes, Sarkisov kept this faith in all trials, which sent him to fate: "But I believe and know that time will work for me. Will come and my finest hour, and friends will be proud of that, too, believed in my art. "

Energy sarkisovskih paintings spiritual properties: each of the pictures contain some sort of psychological charge, with a range of feelings seems to narrow. Among the dominant states - sadness, melancholy, brooding, self-absorbing - this gave rise to creative writing Sarkisov art historians to find a dominant feature of his art made poetry sadness - as a feature intrinsic to the Armenian national character. But listen to another opinion: "Yuri Minasovich - wrote about Baku outstanding Russian painter Mikhail art Alpatovs - remarkably gifted artist. His painting is 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. All these qualities of his art, his life not subject to the ravages of time. "

In 1970-1980-ies of his works were in the collections of a number of artistic repositories then Soviet Union: The Museum of Modern Art in Komsomolsk on Amur, the State Museum of Oriental Art (Moscow), National Gallery of Armenia, Art museums in Saratov, and Ulyanovsk. A lot of sketches and paintings became the property of private collectors of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Germany, USA and other countries. "
