Artist Bio

Anush Babayan is a celebrated Armenian artist whose deeply evocative paintings blend mystical themes of the cosmos with contemporary insights and techniques. Born in the capital city of Yerevan in 1954, Babayan is an Associate Professor at Russian-Armenian University, where she has taught courses on art therapy, aesthetic communication and the philosophy of art for over 20 years.

Her highly sought after paintings employ the use of Chinese brushes and mineral pigments on rice paper in a singular, instantly recognizable style that merges philosophy, poetry and cosmic exploration. Her work has been exhibited in over 50 solo and group exhibitions across Armenia, Russia, France, the U.S., Italy, Switzerland, Canada, Lebanon and beyond. She is a member of both the International Foundation of Armenian Artists and the Union of Artists of Estonia.

In 2024, Babayan’s piece Poet’s Soul graced the cover of Art & Beyond magazine, and she was awarded Best Artist at the West Hollywood Art Festival, with accolades from American art critics and civic leaders praising the uniqueness of her technique and vision.

Babayan’s paintings are widely regarded for their meditative and healing qualities, often described by psychotherapists as visual prayers. Through her art, she invites collectors into a space of introspection, harmony, and timeless beauty—each piece serving as a portal between the inner and outer cosmos.
