The works of Arpine Kettsian have solutions which are peculiar only to her way of creating. Different stylistic manners and various features assure us that she has a big compass of artist. The main subject of works is the inner world of man, heroes are all the people surrounding us.
They are thoroughly and very typically presented. Each work is independent and unique in itself. The basis of all these is the ideology of beauty. Though she is still young but one can definitely feel confident “handwriting ” in her works.

The beauty and plasticity of the female body, the attractive nightdress with provocative cuts, the gentle bending of one knee, the drastic twist of the head with the hand passing sensually through the hair as if seducing someone: all these gestures and details flow into a harmonious music to unravel the mysterious union between the Night and the Woman.
