Armen Agop

b. 1969

Armen Agop is an Egyptian multidisciplinary contemporary artist known for his contemplative sculptures and paintings derived from his exploration of ancient spiritual heritages. In an innovative process, Agop engages meditative practices in his work, prioritizing inwardness and inner monumentality despite physical size. In his works, Agop introduces precise ambiguities. His focus is always on the invisible, and the internal energy that each piece radiates. His artworks encapsulate a spirituality within a physical form. Soberness, slowness and renouncement of demonstrative abilities, are features that characterize his ascetic approach.
