TUMAN ( Amalya Nané TUMANIAN est née à Erevan en Arménie où elle y fut enseignante en arts visuels à l'école des beaux-arts et également membre élue de l'ancienne union de l'art soviétique. Certaines de ses œuvres font l'objet d'exposition dans des musées ainsi que dans des lieux publics en Arménie et en Russie, ayant été acheté par les gouvernements russes et arméniens sur son nom de famille OVSEPYAN. Son succès s'étend à l'international. En effet ses œuvres ont fait l'objet de tournées lors d'une exposition collective en Hongrie, en Espagne et en Allemagne. Elle est également exposée aux Etats-Unis et en France.
Passionnée depuis toujours par la peinture, cette artiste peint tous les jours, comme un musicien ferait ses gammes. C'est par la pratique que lui vient l'inspiration. La peinture est son moyen d'expression, c'est l'endroit où elle trouve sa liberté et où elle se sent vivante. Elle définit son art comme un style expressionniste abstrait figuratif, qui raconte à chaque fois une histoire en utilisant plusieurs types de support purs ou mixtes en fonction de l'émotion qu'elle veut transmettre. Amalya Nané Tumanian aime la vie et veut faire partager les beaux moments que lui offre la vie à travers ses œuvres avec son regard à elle de cette beauté.
Elle utilise des modèles et des décors comme fondement en improvisant à partir d'études originales en y incorporant des formes organiques et non organiques, expressives et colorées, qui, harmonisées dans une composition équilibrée expriment ses émotions, son esthétique artistique et sa philosophie.
L'exposition présentée à la galerie Sonia Monti présente un nouveau développement à travers un style mêlant le figuratif et l'abstrait.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Interested in both the philosophical and emotional sides of my artwork, I often use a combination of abstract geometrical shapes and organic forms to express a duality of any idea or feeling in my art. Art is my language of communication rather than an attempt to create an illusional space.
Colors and forms in my artworks are my subjective interpretations of impressions I get from objects rather than representing them.
Practicing art for a long time, I experimented and tried almost all traditional and new media, including sculpture and encaustic. However, my most favored media are oil, acrylic, and mixed media.
