The Center for Armenian Arts presents Thoughts: We Are What We Think, an exhibition featuring the work of acclaimed Armenian actor and visual artist Avo Khalatyan. Through vivid colors, layered imagery, expressive figures, and theatrical compositions, Khalatyan transforms thoughts and inner emotions into striking visual narratives. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how our perceptions, memories, and private reflections shape both who we are and how we experience the world around us.
Born into a family of artists in Yerevan, Khalatyan studied at the Hakob Kojoyan Art School and the Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography. An Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia, he has been a prominent performer at the Hakob Paronyan State Musical Comedy Theatre since 1998. His visual art draws deeply from this theatrical background, bringing the drama, movement, and storytelling of the stage onto the canvas. Recent presentations of his work include solo exhibitions in Yerevan and appearances in California and at The Other Art Fair Dallas.
