Milky Way, Anush Babayan, H: 31″

Description

In Milky Way, Anush Babayan envisions the galaxy not as distant or cold, but as a sacred, spiraling nexus of life, spirit and creation. Here ethereal figures ascend through cosmic currents, suggesting that the universe itself is alive—conscious, connective and divine. Silver paint adds vibrant dimension to the swirling galaxy at its center, with angelic figures in prayer in the foreground looking onto the fantastic show.

The use of luminous gold, deep violets and soft cloud-whites evoke a sensation of transcendence, with layers that invite both visual and emotional orbit. Babayan’s galaxy is not a map of stars, but a spiritual realm—where matter and soul move as one through infinite space.

“I think that every human being is a cosmic mystery, and the stars are within us,” Anush said, commenting on this painting. “So the whole of human life is buttermilking, churning milk to get butter through movement and action. The way to the Light, to God.”
