Hovhannes Zardayan was born in 1918 in kars (Western Armenia). During the Genocide, the Zardaryans takes the exile path as well and the emotions connected to the lost motherland was reflected in the "The Exile of the Armenians to Ararat" canvas. Hovhannes Zardaryan was an artists of free soul. He used to say "Everybody has his own dream. The dream begins with the birth and something makes the human say something. The most important thing is get the word heard. It’s a big happiness when you are able to express your feeling on a canvas."

Suren Pipoyan’s core theme of creation was the Armenian Genocide. The "Exile" work dedicated to the theme had three initial versions but eventually ended up becoming this large work.

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."

Seyran Khatlamajyan, who is one of the founders of the Armenian abstract art, recreated the month April in his powerful sense of color. (On April 24th of 1915 the arrest of the hundreds of Armenian intelligentsia, the extermination of the national elite, massacre of the Armenian nation started mainly from Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire).
