Chritch

Born in Egypt to an Armenian family, Chritch creates mixed media pieces with global appeal. Drawing from a wide range of different techniques, she combines symbolism, cubism and abstraction in her signature figural images that explore the masks that play such a large part in the way we construct the world around us. Chritch’s most recent “Foreign Faces” series reminds us that sharing a facial expression is often enough to allow us to discard the feelings of self and other that define so much of human relations.

For Chritch, the canvas is a space of free expression, where colors, shapes, and textures merge and give birth to recognizable forms situated in abstract compositions. This allows viewers to relate to her facial forms no matter their background. Chritch’s art invites us to look beyond the masks of appearance and decode the truth of a person, the complexity of all there is to be found in the human soul.
