Levon Kojoyan: "The white canvas is the biggest creation where the vision, feelings, life are being depicted. I started my work on the white canvas and every time I start working I remember Avetiq Isahakyan’s words:
Hey jan, motherland, how beautiful you are
You mountains lost in the fog of the skies
With you waters sweet, with you winds sweet
Only your children are in the bloody sea."

DibaSar: "This painting shows the scene of torture that the victims of Genocide have experienced. I was told about such stories from my great grandmother when I was 4 years old. I have heard similar testimonies from other memme generation as well. These stories got engraved in my consciousness, this illustrates my imagination whenever I think of them.

I realized that canvas, "the CARNAGE" a tribute to all victims of barbarism and wars and genocides. I depicted women, children who struggle with every strength of their lives against the savagery inflicted by the enemy and evil forces: some fall, some die, some survive, some miraculous escape, I depict the miracles by the female figure right in the center of the canvas, the woman on a horse that symbolizes both the freedom, love, life and giving birth to the upcoming generations."

The Armenians, who survived the Armenian Genocide, were scattered all over the world thus becoming the bases of creation of the huge Armenian Diaspora. The Armenian artists, Khoren Ter-Harootian among them, who survived the Genocide, living, studying, working and almost inhabiting in the diaspora never stopped keeping the connection with his motherland, raising the genetic connection of being Armenian in the arts, ignoring the fact of living far from the motherland.

Kerasun (Giresun) is an ancient harbor city in Turkey where 200 Armenian families used to inhabit before the Genocide. In 1915 the Armenians were subjected to forced displacement from their inhabitants and most of them fell victims of the Genocide. This work is one of those several works created by the artist-sculptor Ter-Harootian, where the horror of death is revealed, The soul and body of the Armenian nation having seen the tribulation.

Krikor Momdjian: "Like an open book, we see on one side a photo-document in which we witness how in a barbaric way Armenians were slaughtered in 1915. I did not want to paint the image but used it as it is - an horrible evidence. When I saw this picture for the first time as a little boy, I was choked that human beings are capable of such acts. History seems repeating itself as we think about what is happening now in the middle east, not far from Anatolia, where the massacres of Christian Armenians and deportations occurred. But I believe we can change this, for the sake of future generations, by education and information in healthy thinking. showing empathy for other people and cultures to create a better world."
