Title: Homage to Hrant Dink, 2007
Location: Artist' Union of Armenia, Yerevan
Hakob Hakobyan expressed the secret attack of the evil spirit on the peaceful, defenseless creature by two symbols: black cat and white dove. As it happened in 1915 when the Armenians were subjected to massacre by the Ottoman Empire, the series of these barbaric acts continue to these day, such as the murder of the famous Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink by the Turkish nationalist.

Hrant Dink said: "There are some Turkish people who don’t admit that fact that their ancestors executed Genocide. But, if we look, we’ll understand that these people leave a false impression of kind and pleasant people… However, why can’t they admit the fact of Genocide? It’s because, they know that Genocide is a bad thing and they would have never wish to do that and that’s why they can’t believe that their ancestors could have done anything like that."

Narek Avetisyan: "Even the historical and cultural memory can subconsciously manifest itself in the time and space. The latter is in the identity of art and it’s ephemeral. The form changes and is being exposed to modification. But the form is the “body” of art for me, therefore, even the modified "body" is an identity-content-harmony in itself.

So the creativity of art can be understood as a whole system, aestheticism and theory, the wholeness of art, paradigm of composition."

Title: The Missing Poet, 2009
Location: Artist's Collection
Krikor Momdjian: "This painting is to remember the missing poets who were arrested on the night of April 24th in 1915 in Constantinople and put to death, around 2500 Armenian intellectuals. The nature is revolting in anger. You can smell the blood in the dirty water explosion. They will never be forgotten, on the contrary, their memory has been cherished almost everyday for the past hundred years. I hope their souls will come to rest when justice is achieved by recognition and conciliation."
