I will not argue that Carlos Khachatryan is the best known portraitist in the world or even in Russia. But as a man who saw many of his portraits, I can say that he is a good portraitist. Moreover, the super-dear me Khachatryan wrote a few portraits of my wife and daughter, about whom on the previous page so entertained some visitors are female. You see, they do not like the blouse! But the portraits MadeInChina, painted expressly for the needs of women millionaire with unsettled artistic taste (and psyche),'s liking. Lord, let these products you can order at a penny dimes while on vacation in Thailand! It is full of art shops, which zanedorogo paint a portrait of your dress.

Okay, let's talk more about Carlos Khachatrian. Firstly, it is an artist who does not draw nearly the ceremonial and custom painting, although I saw him like work. And it was not in order for the money - sometimes a rush to the show leaves its mark. So I saw clearly the weak triptych on the same show, which was then radically rewritten by the artist himself. It does not produce mediocre work. Yes, the average work he has come. But this is such a добротный average level to which many have to grow and grow. When I agreed with Carlos, I am not subject to any conditions - complete freedom of the artist. Perhaps because he agreed to do this obviously is not too favorable to the artist's work. Note that so far I have not reached the hands and the audacity to order your own portrait. Also, a few years of dealing with Carlos said that he is completely non-commercial people. I once tried to place his order is very expensive for one of my clients - but Carlos has not shown any interest, although he could and make good money. Generally, all these artists are like that.

Pictures shown on this page can not be estimated by low-resolution photos. Khachatryan draws every square decimeter and centimeter. Some of his paintings (those that are brighter) can be cut into squares and increase, thus receiving a picture of a modern abstract style. We have so carefully almost no one draws - a modern artist does not spend time on many days to work on one canvas. Because Khachatryan have so little work - only up to a dozen different operations in a year comes from his pen. But this is an artist with whom I have never seen a completely flops work. Even his paintings are executed on average a decent level, which, again, many can only dream of.

To be continued ...

Individual comments on the pictures:
1) Portrait in a chair not like almost anyone, he did not dress. He did not like and my wife. But I'm delighted. Two hundred years later the future art historians will argue about the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa 21 st century. Sorry for the pathos, but I say it is not influenced by my love for his wife, and under the influence of the canvas. I confess, I tried to argue with the artist, trying to "improve" the picture. But then I fully recognized the correctness of the wizard, well-considered result of that it took several weeks. As an example, I tried to get Carlos to "improve" the background to make it more spectacular. Type add a chandelier or a painting. But the artist was quite right, leaving so little background. As for jackets and chairs - this is also the choice of the artist as a blouse really does not exist in our wardrobe. Hand written perfectly, and above all - I see the portrait of my wife live with her character completely. When she sat, it was not familiar with Carlos, so much embarrassed. And that her character is clearly visible in the picture.
2) A large portrait "Natasha", hm 100x80 cm - a tribute to the author's hyper-realism. Although it is not pure photorealism. This portrait also wrote for the Customer blindly. I made the reservation only format. 's All.
3) A drawing does not require special explanation. It is an easy gift, and not an order. The artist made it without our knowledge.
4) For several exhibitions had taken a large canvas - diptych "Apple God" 100h178 cm and 100x100 cm Used portrait of my daughter's Lada. Frankly, I do not like portraits - they are difficult to show strangers and stand at exhibitions. Therefore, we agree with Carlos about the composition. He wanted to do more serious work for a solo exhibition, and our interests coincided. My opinion is that the right side affects the impression of the main picture. After some time, and he udozhnik acknowledged this fact. Therefore, the second part you can not watch.
5) He was formerly hosted a small portrait Komarovskaya AI Since it is not mine - I do not host it again. But ... I know this woman and I saw the portrait in the original. It's great! The portrait is visible clearly tired woman, is what it really is.

Naturally, such an approach to "registered" portraits are guaranteed absolve the artist from orders "new Russian". It said the wife of one of my friend, seeing the first picture of my wife (in the chair): "Well, make us beautiful!". She became so much asking for an order, upon learning that I ordered a portrait. But six months later when I saw my result - faded. Decided that it is cheaper and better to make a photo for 500 bucks in a historical costume make-up under the mountain. Well ... to each his own.

6) Submitted by Khachatryan's self-portrait - a large piece of fabric "The road to the temple."

Chernomashentsev Vladimir,
If you are satisfied with the performance, it is most important, because you work commissioned for himself. But for art historians examining the future needs and other factors. Here, if you follow the creativity of the artist, helping him, then it is highly commendable!

I am very sympathetic portraits of Levan Haranauli.
Pictures are not very high quality but the presentation can make.

Magnificent artist! (In my coordinate system) is and the author's recognizable voice, and the author's attitude, and the author's interpretation.
