IN THE MEMORY OF THE ONES WHO DIDN’T MAKE IT

Jacques Vartabedian is a Lebanese-Armenian artist, born in Beirut, Lebanon. He holds a BA in Fine Arts and a master’s degree in painting from the Lebanese Institute of Fine Arts. His work is involved in the creation of conceptually based socio-political objects that deal with the condition of real experience, and with the multifaceted reality that challenges existing physical and political boundaries. He combines contemporary ideas with traditional techniques to create a blend of extensions of our reality that are based upon his cultural traditions and his interest in the changing world of today.
