About

Gayane Yerkanyan was born in Yerevan, Armenia in 1989. Gayane holds a Bachelor’s in design from Yerevan’s Academy of the Arts (2009), and a Master’s from the (HKU) Utrecht School of the Arts (2014). She worked for Armenia’s state of the art TUMO Center for Creative Technologies from 2011 to 2016 intermittently, where she oversaw Graphic Design, Web Design and Concept Development. Her work often involves decontextualizing Armenian letters to offer new visual and symbolic meanings. She uses the letter and its subsequent permutations as a metaphor for the individual trying to define herself as both autonomous and a part of society. Gayane is based in Amsterdam where she lives and works since 2015.
