Artist Statement

 

As an artist, I'm driven by a curiosity of life and a compulsion to recreate it, in a way that is my own. Zepure is a chosen name. It's an Armenian word that describes a warm, gentle breeze. Beyond an identity, it is a philosophy of honoring the forces of life and working in conjunction with them. I wish to know the tides and move among them.

Art, first and foremost, is a healer. One would wonder how that is, since an artist’s life is an endless pursuit of arbitrary feelings to collect and purge onto the world, where they will be displayed and dissected by people who don’t know you, and often don’t care to know you. It’s less than glamorous, though we’re not meant to know that. Still my practice is the most sacred thing to me, because despite the chaos and uncertainty of life, every once in a while I get to look at something I created and see total peace.
