Vaz Gyulkhandanian is a Toronto-based artist and creates work cenred around the theme of animals and nature. Gyulkhandanian is interested in the relationship between animals and humans and he aims to translate this relationship into a pictorial form. The artist is influenced by Surrealism and by artists such as Salvador Dali and Alex Colville, both of whom depicted animals in their art. Gyulkhandanian creates an atmosphere of mystery and suspense in his paintings. For example, in the painting “The Running Dog,” he aims to create a space where the viewer is left to their own interpretation of the piece, sometimes relating to individualistic experiences.
