Meet our Artist, Mher

Mher Harutyunyan Was born on July 24th, 1962 in Yerevan, Armenia into a family of artists. In 1987, after his graduation in Design from Yerevan Art Academy, he spent several years in the former Soviet Union, specializing in artistic design. Mher provided the design for several commercial entities including, coliseums, concert halls as well as many other venues and commercial structures. After relocating to the United States, specifically Boston, MA in April of 1992, his focus centered on oil paintings and pastels applied to canvas. Inspired by an upbringing of cultivated art, his work has appeared in several exhibitions, including a private showings in Montpelier, VT. While in Boston, one of Mher's paintings exhibited in the AIM museum.

 

Later, Mher relocated to New York City in the summer of 1996. Comprised of new beginnings, the journey that had arose, invoked his passion to paint New York City's skylines and cultural spheres in very unique ways full of never ending motion captured in free lucid styles of modern expressions. After a few years in New York, Mher decided then, to relocate once again to Ohio in the spring of 2001 where he started his family and business. Mher had successfully created over 300 hand drawn celebrity portraits, as well as many original and unique oil paintings, pastel pieces and mixed media pieces of art. Mher and his brother Arman, had owned beautiful, art filled galleries in a couple different locations. In these galleries were where many of our connections and longstanding friendships were made with people from all over the world, creating and sharing art and products that truly made a difference in peoples lives, and this is what became a major drive for Mher and really cultivating what he created.

 

Unfortunately, in fall of 2021, Mher passed away from cancer, after 20 years of building, the business, with great plans to expand further, along with a greater legacy of incredibly intriguing arts. His legacy remains today and the business, for now, is being ran by his brother and son as an online store only until we eventually reopen a new gallery to, once more, display all of the art and continue to make new connections and memories to last for years.
