2006 Retrospective exhibit Eravnt Nicogosian – Senso Gallery

With the personal support of the President of FildasArt Foundation, Mrs Anca Vlad, takes place in 2006 an important retrospective dedicated to Master Nicogosian. With this occasion, Nicogosian said: “ I managed to save my family and I had the satisfaction that I could paint; I started my artist career in a space surrounded with four layers of barbed wire, in the dessert, together with few souls full of hope of freedom and returning home. Through painting we took refuge in another universe, where I could dream freely of liberty, beauty and life. “
