Espace Périple presents «Glimpses of darkness», a paintings exhibition, by artist Agavni Bagdikian, from 7 to 25 March.

Opening on Tuesday 7 March from 6 to 9pm.

You must have chaos within yourself if you are to give birth to a dancing star (Nietzsche)

Chaos, creation, stars, dance, dazzling enigmatic words.

Combat, passion, movement, freedom, deliverance and fascination of light.

Self-elevation through the prism of extraordinary movement, expressing inexhaustible resources.

Colours painstakingly created and worked, fashioning a shape verging on alchemy.

And then also – and above all – the play of light emerging from darkness, which reminds us of the paradox of life.

Watch the video.

Agavni is an Armenian artist living and working in Brussels, Belgium.

She was born in Athens, Greece and has worked at the European Commission in Brussels since 1985. In parallel to her professional activity, she has performed in different workshops in painting, drawing, and photography and has participated in various exhibitions.

She has been taking painting classes at the «Académie des Beaux Arts de Watermael Boisfort»; she also studies the theory of art, history and appreciation of art, study of the human figure, and drawing.  

Since 2008 she exhibited in various venues in Brussels including at the European Commission, Galerie Fayla and How do you do Brussels?

Agavni is developing her own original style based on human emotions. Her work expresses the strength of feelings, through the use of words, sublimating the image. She demonstrates a deep sensitivity to the alchemy of the colours.
