The exhibition presents 77 works of the artist made during 1976-2006. “I am very happy that I can display my works in the National Gallery where the works of my father, brother and sister are being kept,” she said. The father of the artist, distinguished Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikian and sister Lavinia, are the best representatives of the Tbilisi Armenian school. “We are all connected with the love towards fine art. It is a big work which also demands a serious struggle, both inner and outer. In his/her canvases the artist must express herself/himself, in my canvases I am reflected with my approaches and outlook,” she pointed out. Georgian ambassador to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze underscored the conduction of exhibition of Tbilisi-based Armenian artist in her homeland, noting that though she is an Armenian but is creating in Georgian environment and is part of Tbilisi culture.
