Biography
Vanessa Solace is an Armenian painter, a graduate of the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia. The principal medium of my practice is oil painting. In my work I turn to religious and mythological subjects, exploring their symbolism, their emotional depth and their connection to how the world is perceived today. I am drawn to themes of faith, human nature, heroism and spiritual search. Through painting I seek to rethink classical images and to open a space for dialogue between history, culture and the viewer’s own experience.
