Margaret Asatrian is a visual artist born in Armenia in 1994. She graduated from the Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts in 2016, obtaining a bachelor's degree in the field of painting.
Growing up in an artist’s family, she developed a passion for art from a very young age, ultimately choosing it as a career.
In her early artworks, Margaret demonstrated an interest in figurative art, featuring portraits, landscapes, and linear drawings inspired by nature. However, her style later evolved into abstraction as the artist began to produce a large number of mixed media and oil paintings that explore and express her worldview in a non-representational language, conveyed through forms and colors. This approach has consequently become the key aspect of her work. The artist's paintings are created in a bold, expressive manner, where soft, muted colors combined with rich contrasts evoke a sense of movement and vitality.
Over the past years, Margaret's artwork has gained the attention of many art connoisseurs and private collectors both nationally and internationally. She has participated in numerous exhibitions and art biennales worldwide, including the 9th Beijing International Art Biennale, National Art Museum of China, 2022; the 5th Edition of London Art Biennale, Chelsea Old Town Hall, 2021; International Contemporary Paris Art Fair, Porte de Versailles, 2021; Armenian Contemporary Art in Kuwait,2019, among others.

The artist’s works are on permanent display at the Gallery Milmar International in Carmel-by-the-Sea (CA) as well as at the Gala Art Gallery in her hometown, Yerevan.

 She has been a member of the Artists’ Union of Armenia since 2017.

In 2023, Margaret had her first solo show, titled 'Living Colors,' at the Gala Art Gallery.

                                                           Artist's Statement   

  
      "My art reflects on various facets of both the objective and non-objective worlds, expressing them through shapes and colors in an intangible, abstract realm. Trusting my intuition through the creative process, I strive to share my personal experiences and impressions using a non-verbal language aimed to offer a fresh perspective on life, reality, and complex manifestations of human emotions. Choosing colors intuitively, I typically begin each new piece with a few primary colors applied in spontaneous brushstrokes. I focus, therefore, on the compositional structure of the piece, adding contrasts, interposing forms of diverse proportions, using lines to outline the shapes, etc. The subsequent painting processes demand concentration and a more reflective approach, where my primary goal is to eliminate superfluous elements from the piece, emphasizing the essential forms aimed to convey the core idea or emotion."
