If we accept that creation extends to all beings—from cosmic systems to the smallest insects—we can say that we are all created and are friends to one another. These are the reflections of artist Aram Hakobyan.

Through his works, the artist conveys this idea: the universality of creation, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the concept of friendship. This idea also suggests that he views art as a kind of prayer or connection between all created beings.

“When we look at a beautiful image or scene, something awakens within us. Our higher self collaborates and unites with all of this, and perhaps if people begin to live according to this law of creation, their hearts will beat in unison with everything,” says the artist.

Every branch of art is precisely the field where people begin to think, pay closer attention to processes, and first and foremost, discover within themselves: “Perhaps the heart begins to beat differently. This spring that exists is always new; spring never repeats itself. For example, when we see a blossoming tree, do we remember that we’ve seen the same tree for 60 years? We rejoice like children… perhaps that’s exactly what an artist needs.”

This is not just about art, but about something deeper—the ability to feel, to find profound meaning in small moments of life, and most importantly, about the journey of knowing ourselves. You can navigate this path more easily, opening the door to a world where feelings deepen, observation becomes an event, and everyday sights transform into art in the ninth part of the “Mystery of Creation” video series, implemented within the framework of the “ZArt” cultural project by Iravaban.net.

“ZArt” has a special mission: to build a bridge between art and society. The project aims to present Armenian artists and their exceptional works not only to Armenian society but also to the diaspora and abroad, contributing to the popularization of art and the recognition of artists. Through this series of videos, society draws closer to art, and artists closer to society, creating a beautiful space for cultural understanding.

Aram Hakobyan appreciates every type of art if it is done professionally: “If the creator is inspired, enjoys their work, and does it with love, that is transferred to the canvas… in every work, not necessarily a painting. In my opinion, the mission of art lies precisely in this—when the invested energy spreads, enters people’s homes, or reaches the heart in the form of music. The gift of creation is a miracle given to humans.”
