On May 31, the AKNEYE Canvases exhibition took place at the ftNFT Phygital Space in Yerevan.
AKNEYE introduced the visitors to the new concept of the brand. The exhibition featured works by 4 experienced AKNEYE artists, created through a combination of classical painting techniques and contemporary digital approaches.
The artworks of Narek Gyulumyan, Anahit Margaryan, Edmon Harikyan and Rafayel Nersesyan were displayed in the space—each reflecting a unique style and perspective. Anahit Margaryan spoke about the concept and its realization: “I’m very happy to be part of this new concept by AKNEYE. The idea implies fresh creative solutions and gives artists more space to express themselves and go beyond the boundaries of AKNEYE.”
Addressing AKNEYE’s ongoing mission, the Head of AKNEYE, Henrik Sargsyan, stated: “AKNEYE never stops creating and never stops surprising. This is a new and exciting collection, which we are presenting to the Armenian audience for the first time. We can proudly say that over the years, 130 artists from more than 30 countries have joined the brand. This is a great success because from the beginning, our goal was to build bridges between artists—and those bridges have now been built.”
The event united art lovers, representatives of the creative community and those interested in digital culture.
Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia, Daniel Danielyan, shared his impressions: “As you know, I’ve been following the AKNEYE project since the very beginning. They've implemented many programs, and we’ve worked together. I’ve always been thrilled and believed in the project because I was confident it would achieve great success—and I think these are just the first small steps. AKNEYE has a bright road ahead.”
The main message of the exhibition was clear: art knows no boundaries. With the creation of the AKNEYE Canvases collection, AKNEYE opens a new chapter in contemporary art, promoting collaboration among artists, the technological environment and the community. For an entire month, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the showcased works at the ftNFT Phygital Space in Yerevan.
