Hello, I'm Atom H.

Atom Hovhanesyan was a self-taught artist that worked and lived in New York. He was born in Armenia on August 19​,​ 1981. In 1997​,​ just as Atom graduated from high school at age 16​,​ his family received final Embassy approval for immigration to the United States. That same year Atom enrolled at New York University to study English and began a part time job at a national restaurant chain. In 1998​,​ Atom applied and was accepted at St. John’s University where he studied Economics while continuing to work in the restaurant industry where he excelled and quickly moved into key management positions in both the New York and Los Angeles restaurant market. Atom relocated from Los Angeles to New York in 2009 and began painting- the passion of his childhood and youth. From that point his entire life was dedicated to Art. A considered and methodical autodidact​,​ he busied himself with the study of anatomy​,​ perspective​,​ effects of light​,​ color theory​,​ art history​,​ and the works of the Old Masters and the Modern Masters. Atom studied at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of New York. He continued to develop his unique post-divisionism style and technique​,​ working in oils and ink. Atom Hovhanesyan created over 250 pieces of art before losing his battle with depression in May 10​,​ 2018. He was 36 years old.
