She lives and works in Yerevan. “In the absence of the drayman the horse, unimpeded, holds sway over the space of inner and outer life which is restricted only to the span of unearthly existence. The horse thinks – here is the freedom. The drayman knows – the freedom is not here. Painting as a deep discerning and divining of the world emotionally enriches the inner life if dominated by a thinking heart. Perception and comprehension of the inner order of things leads to their prime essence. That every painting can create an inwardly free person. And thereafter it would be possible to conform to the conditions of the given world peacefully and with joy. ~Marina Dilanyan
