Scene in village Jajur 1968

In 1968, Minas Avetisyan created this painting, *Scene in village Jajur*, using oil on canvas. Avetisyan’s choice of oil paint allows him to build up layers of color and texture, creating a tangible sense of the village environment. You can almost feel the rough texture of the stone walls and the sun-baked earth. The visible brushstrokes and the slightly muted palette also suggest a direct, unvarnished view of rural life. The artist's skill in manipulating the medium to depict the everyday realities of village life elevates the ordinary to the level of fine art. It is a reminder that the beauty and significance can be found in the materials, the making, and the social context of the artwork itself.
