Hagop is a self-taught mixed-media/collage artist and for him, creation is not a choice but a way of life. His work is an exploration in the concept of synergy: the creation of a whole that is greater that the simple sum of its parts. His latest creations examine and challenge societies' preconceived notions regarding race, gender, and culture by constructing unlikely relationships and thereby giving new meaning and purpose to the subject matter. The source materials for his work come from books and materials dated from the early 1800's to 1900's, and are retrieved from public domains and libraries from around the world. Over the past year, he has focused his attention towards public art, specifically street art in the form of wheat pasting. Hagop finds it to be such a powerful medium for expression because it is for and includes everyone.
