The Armenian composer, singer, ethno musician, musicologist, archimandrite and teacher Komitas suffered a lot seeing the anguish of the Armenian nation. This characters is stamped as the symbol of the Armenian Genocide and many Armenian artists emphasized that symbol painting Komitas. Sarkis Muradyan’s Komitas dressed in red, the color of blood and the entrance of the Turkish officers with swords symbolize the upcoming bloody crime.

Armen Yesayants (PhD in Art History): "The anguish of the entire nation is centered in the art of Haurtyun Kalentz. In the artistic heritage of Kalents the theme of Genocide was depicted both directly and indirectly: Kalentz said: There in the foreign country, Armenian faces seem to be a part of the motherland. For me the portrait is also landscape and much more than that. The portraits are my motherland."

Armen Yesayants (PhD in Art History): "In this work we see the identity of the graceless Turk in toxic yellowish-green color and in the redness of the blood a child who was the only one left. Kaneltz considered that the Genocide should not be visualized or presented. As a result, instead of big creations only small graphical works are preserved."

As many Armenian artist, Simon Galstyan depicted Komitas Archimandrite as a symbol of perpetuation of the nation, who had experienced the Genocide. The barbarically demolished room and the atrocities still carried out by the Turkish officers go to the background. Seeing the suffered glance of Komitas dressed all in white and at the same time the unsurrendered posture…

And the nation never stopped singing.
