   This masterful 2023 oil painting, titled "Erkank," is a soulful tribute to Armenian rural traditions and ancestral life. The focal point of the composition is a traditional stone hand mill (erkank), rendered with remarkable tactile texture that makes the cold stone feel alive.Surrounding the mill are other iconic symbols of Armenian hospitality and domesticity: a polished metal tray reflecting soft light, a ceramic bowl with a ripe pomegranate, and a vibrant, hand-woven Armenian carpet (karpet) draped elegantly in the background. The inclusion of delicate yellow everlasting flowers adds a touch of fragile beauty to the sturdy, ancient objects.

This piece is part of the "Armenian Still-Life" series and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
