_ayta/ (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Ilya Vartanian

86 x 126 x 0.1cm (unframed)

£2,772.21

Ayta centers on a human figure reduced to an intense, almost luminous presence. The body remains immediately recognizable, yet its individuality has been partially dissolved into color, contour and surface.
The figure appears suspended between representation and abstraction, while traces of erosion and displacement disturb the apparent simplicity of the image. What initially reads as a direct bodily presence gradually reveals a more unstable condition — an image that has been altered while still retaining the memory of its original form.
The work belongs to Ilya Vartanian’s broader investigation into how an image changes, survives and acquires new meaning within a contemporary hybrid visual environment.
