Exhibition of Mosaics by Talin Mikroyan
On November 9, Naregatsi Art Institute unveiled the solo exhibition of original mosaics by Syrian-Armenian artist Talin Mikroyan, entitled "Talking Stones."
The event kicked off with an opening speech by NAI exhibition curator and art critic Tatevik Hambardzumyan. She highlighted that the audience is witnessing how, in the artist’s hands, natural stone is transformed into mosaics that are distinctly Armenian in character yet imbued with a contemporary spirit. They are a unique dialogue between the audience and our historical and cultural memory.
Talin Mikroyan, originally from Aleppo, has had a connection to art since an early age. Despite her background in agriculture, she did not stray from a creative path; her profound affinity for nature and her professional knowledge have intertwined with art, finding expression through natural stones.
To refine her skills in the art of mosaic, the artist participated in professional training courses and has exhibited her works in galleries across Syria, Lebanon, and Georgia. Her mastery has been recognized and highly acclaimed within professional circles—a fact clearly evidenced by her receipt of the Khayr al-Din al-Asadi Prize in 2023.
Since 2025, Talin Mikroyan has relocated to Armenia, where she continues her active creative work, bringing a distinctive style and a fresh perspective to the art of Armenian mosaics.
Talin Mikroyan expressed her gratitude to the Naregatsi Art Institute and those present for the warm welcome, support, and interest shown in her work.
The exhibition at the Naregatsi Art Institute will be open until November 13. Art lovers have the opportunity to visit and personally experience the mysterious world of “talking stones.”
