Gerardo Orakian

“My whole life is an endless fight in every sense of it: in the study, in becoming an artist, in earning the daily bread and, finally, in creating paintings that are worth to be called art. Each of them is torture for me, because I do not satisfy myself with what I do. Always trying to make it better. The best may be created only if you progress and improve. I am always ready to fight for it. I think here is no movement and life without fighting.”

– Gerardo Orakian
