Larisa Safaryan

Larisa Safaryan’s work defies traditional boundaries, merging the ephemeral delicacy of eggshells with a profound examination of life’s intricate beauty and resilience. Her chosen medium—a fragile eggshell—serves as a powerful metaphor for the duality of human strength and vulnerability. In her hands, the smooth surface of an egg transforms from a simple, organic form into a canvas that speaks of renewal, rebirth, and the cycles of existence. Without question she is an innovator in what she does. She has forged a path distinct from anything in contemporary art. Her work is like nothing that exists at this time.

​The interplay of opposites is woven throughout her work: the intricate detail set against the fragile medium, the simplicity of the egg’s form offset by her profound creations, the sense of harmony tempered by the risk and tension inherent in each piece. Safaryan’s pieces possess a rare elegance, an aesthetic balance that enchants viewers while confronting them with the marvel of her technical prowess. Most of her works show incredible use of colors. They also demand meticulous attention to detail, strict concentration, and surgical precision. The effect is transformative; viewers experience her pieces as a revelation, oscillating between disbelief and delight. 

​Larisa Safaryan was born in Yerevan, Armenia. She has never attended an art class. It is not a surprise, however, that she started creating after seeing the work of her father, the renowned sculptor Nairi Safaryan. She has a master’s degree in Psychology, and a second master’s degree in Public Management. Larisa Safaryan credits her education with allowing her to see people and the world from a different perspective and apply it to her passion for creating art in unique ways. The absence of traditional training has been a gift to her vision, granting her the freedom to explore and pioneer techniques that are entirely her own.
