Each of Nina Khemchyan’s sculptures invites silent meditation. Through essential forms and universal motifs, she engages the viewer to feel both matter and time.
French-Armenian artist Nina Khemchyan, born in Yerevan in 1964, began her artistic training at the Yerevan Fine Arts Academy before continuing her education at the École Nationale des Arts Appliqués in Paris. Having lived in France for over 30 years, she explores themes that are both personal and universal, such as collective memory, identity, and the sacred. Currently represented by PM Gallery in Paris, her work has also entered the collections of prestigious institutions, including the Yerevan Museum of Modern Art and the Ramiro Ortiz Foundation in the United States. In 2024, she represented Armenia with the project Echo at the Biennale of Venice. Through her practice, her work weaves a golden thread between her heritage, the contemporary world, and her modern vision of creation.
