What is Live by Diana Arutyunyan Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 70 x 90 cm Year: 2026 Price: $3500.00 USD Status: available What Is Love? explores love as a force of transformation rather than a feeling alone. Through intuitive forms, emerging faces, and bursts of color, the painting reflects the journey of dissolving old identities and opening to a deeper connection with oneself. It is an invitation to contemplate love as a state of awakening, vulnerability, and inner expansion—a question that can never be fully answered, only experienced. Why collect this work?Face-like fragments surface within a dominant pink field, keeping the painting poised between bodily recognition and gestural abstraction. Arutyunyan describes her intuitive practice as exploring transformation and emotional states. In this work, that aim is legible in forms that seem briefly to cohere as figures before dispersing into surrounding marks.The photograph shows dark, elongated curves connecting an eye-like form, a tilted profile, and limb-like passages. White bursts and small yellow accents break this loose vertical structure, preventing it from settling into a continuous scene.Catalogued as oil on canvas, the painting combines broad fields with bounded shapes and fine linear accents. Oil permits varied opacity and edge definition, qualities evident in the contrast between hazy pink passages and concentrated indigo forms.Dated 2026 and measuring 70 by 90 cm, the work provides a focused case for considering when an abstract mark begins to read as a face, body, or symbolic sign.
