Betty Khatchikian

Betty Khatchikian started her artistic journey at a very young age, translating her unique vision of the world onto canvases. Growing up, she immersed herself in the art of painting, exploring the world through brushes and colors. After a transformative five-year trip to China, where she engaged in deep soul-searching, Khatchikian returned to Beirut with a renewed focus on transforming her passion into a career. She refined her skills through online workshops with internationally renowned artists. As a self-taught Armenian artist, her work has evolved over time from classical realism to contemporary forms. Betty defies conventional labels, as her art is unified by a central exploration of psychological themes. Employing a diverse range of mediums, particularly oil paints and charcoal, she is known for her live portraits and figure studies, often seen on the shores of Lebanon with her easel, capturing the world around her.
