Berc Ketchian
is an Armenian American, educated at the Academy of
Fine Arts in Istanbul, Turkey and at the Academies des
Arts, Nice. Through his work he hopes to capture the
world through his windows – the nostalgic nights
of Bodrum, the afternoon breakfasts, fisherfolk, the
sophisticated ladies along with the local drunks. Ketchian
conveys his emotions in a unique and eclectic manner.
The magic lies in his brush strokes and his brilliant
use of color and light. The spectator is drawn into
the painting through romanticism, humanism, and naturalism,
which capture the eye and heart. His ability to create
the illusion of detail so that the viewer thinks he
understands the message or the mood merely serves to
reinforce the artist's power to play with emotion.
