Apaga (ապագա) means ‘future’ in Armenian. The coffee-ground patterns, which gradually fade and emerge like distant horizons, convey the impression of a blurred glimpse into the future. The works entitled Apaga begin in a realistic style but become increasingly abstract and alienated as the process progresses. It is therefore worth taking a closer look.
Shipping:
The work is shipped stretched on a stretcher frame – including a certificate of authenticity and a signature on the reverse.
Erika Barsegian
In coffee grounds reading, the patterns that emerge in the dregs of a cup are traditionally used to provide insights into the past, present and future. Erika, however, goes beyond this symbolism. For her, the patterns are not merely signs to be interpreted, but rather complete images that tell a story of their own. She captures the feeling she experiences when looking at the cup and translates this into her art. This often results in works that begin realistically but become completely abstract as the painting process progresses.
It
is therefore worth taking a closer look at the paintings, as hidden symbols sometimes reveal themselves that are not visible at first glance.
