The death march... the veil of pain of the Armenian mothers was becoming irreversible when they were carrying the corpses of their starving children in their hands…. Armis is one of those Armenian artists who witnessed atrocities of the Armenian Genocide as well. And just like other artists who survived the Genocide, he created more that 20 canvases on the theme of Genocide and the anguish of his nation.

Arthur Sarkissian: "Art is a multilayered game of mind and soul. and the best way to justify the existence of the individual. Art is an opportunity for me to reevaluate and reanimate the old and the new, the chronology and the contemporary. In this painting I wanted to create a symbolic poem through the old and new images, bridges of the sculpures of the cities."

Nazaret Karoyan (Аrt critic): "Genocide therefore, was mostly a technological program and action. As such, it did not imply the sheer destruction of a group of people, the removal of all that related to their everyday life: eating (towel, table cloth, napkins), sleeping (tick, blankets, sheets), intimacy, dreams, all those open and secret subjects of everyday life that Bourdieu called habitus. The operation was not only directed to the destruction of the reproductive organs of a human collectivity, an entire race, but also the elimination of all signs, thus making impossible mourning itself and the words of mourning.

Sahak Poghosyan, by addressing genocide, deals with this situation. The point is not that there are no stories in this situation, but that it is impossible to talk, as such, about them. The painter seems to portray their weak whispers that eventually become silence by enmeshing the linear clearness and color brightness of fabrics and trimmings with a coating of paraffin."

Kebabjian’s entire art was influenced by the disaster that happened to the Western Armenians. Melkon Kebabjian’s “ruins” express not only the destruction and annihilation of the localities of the Armenian nation but also the destruction of the human’s peaceful soul.
