"I'll stand by all our mental, physical and mental forces for painting a quiet, highly responsible, restrained, so that each stroke, shape, color and feel would have been thought out, but, of course, this does not mean - dry, lifeless and pedantic. I have referring expression and the joy of the eye, soul and mind of things ...
Now, by the end of my life, though a bit far seen in the painting (I want to say about the original), I am very satisfied with their hard work. Perhaps it comes from a great understanding, and perhaps from a purely pictorial of my weakness. One way or another, but to go with myself to compromise, of course, do not have, and infinitely desirable, so that new things are not quantified, but qualitatively would satisfy me. That's the fight: that no write - to destroy, every time it seems that this time I'll go out a winner. "

Not much you can specify the artists whose thoughts and feelings would have been so completely absorbed in art, as happened in the life and work of Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikian. Life outside of art for him was unthinkable, in the name of art he could make any sacrifice. The happiest hours of the artist were those who were behind the easel. With boundless love for his art, and even with all its fantastic, the Bazhbeuk-Melikian was not a drop of self-love, even more, he was the most severe judge her. Many and hard work on the painting, and he could easily destroy it, if something did not like him in it. The number of destroyed his canvases in several times the number that survived.

The story and the beauty of a Bazhbeuka imbued with such deep love and conviction that his paintings of magnetic force attracts the viewer and not forgotten. He urges his seriousness, endowed with the subtle taste, very elegant color. All this makes Bazhbeuka very high and the audience feels that it is - unusual work: they are raised to a kind of cult of ecstasy, they reveal to the viewer a world that is serious and beautiful, and the high altar of the world is a woman and her priest - Bazhbeuk.
Bazhbeuk was a great artist.

Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikyan able to see the full and best of all, was capable of with the same delight to watch as the glow color of the body, and in the radiance of colored dirt - like the sun, which makes no distinction between good and evil, the same highlights and evil, and good . In this high conception of the world of things, superior strength of his sense of the gift and no hypertrophy of anything was not able to diminish the purity of his vision ...

Bazhbeuk-Melikyan is survived by his idiosyncratic vision of the world and the rare quality paintings, which, of course, was one of the securities acquired by the Armenian culture. The concept is not determined by a national commitment to exotic or geographic attributes, and above all the vision of the artist, his temperament and artistic merit of works. In the end, is not determined by the manipulation of national subjects, drawn from the treasury of the history of his people, and its addition of new, hitherto unknown artistic values.
Nationality Bazhbeuka strikingly feel when you see his paintings in the surroundings of the old Armenian carpets, woodcarving, jewelry, created by folk artists. Like a tuning fork is absolutely accurate, they define the rare kinship of spirit, which does not measure, it can only be felt. Already evident is the enormous role played in our culture, the artist, who lived next to Armenia, but never written a holy Ararat ... Bazhbeuk-Melikyan is one of the most outstanding masters of the composite picture. His theme, plot, more precisely, figurative compositions represent a sample of concentrated thickened painting with deep penetration into the secrets of the old masters and the experience of Impressionist and Post-Impressionists. Such saturation, uniform coordination beautiful relationship to the whole space of the canvas equally active, regardless of the selected object in the period - the achievement of new art, because even the great masters of the past were any conditions to simulate the object to the illusion of perspective, to the full level of reliability and often, inert, devoid of energy backgrounds.
Bazhbeuk-Melikyan - sample conscience of the artist. His art is concerned with cheerfulness. In a seriously ill condition, he, snatching death every day, he wrote. It worked even when he could not clean the palette. Cut off from the city, which he so loved to walk in the evenings, bedridden, he painted Zangezur ", using nature as a landscape daughter - Lavinia. His latest painting "The Dance of Kurdish girls" dated March 7, 1966. She was all lit, sparkling, the youthful, enthusiastic, bright palette of the artist - to the life Bazhbeuk-Melikyan won at the time. His art has won. Won his patience and wise, who knows, if not for the victim and the hardships brought forward by the artist, perhaps today we would not have witnessed the triumph of his paintings.
