Karine Arutyunova on her paintings: “Don’t look for a bird in the picture. It’s not there. My paintings are about that moment (which is always difficult to catch and even more so to capture), when the bird itself is no longer visible, but there is a feeling that it has just been there. We hear the chirp, the flicker of fiery feathers. Same thing with happiness. No matter how much you squeeze your fingers, all we possess undividedly (and forever) is the memory of it. It’s as if a bird has touched us with its wing.”
