Color Garnet |1968|

From the bottom left is a black—robed figure (probably a monk or a clergyman) standing against the background of a massive decorative element resembling carved textiles or architectural ornaments.
On the upper left is a character in a white robe with branched wings (perhaps symbolizing horns or branches), which may refer to the image of an angel, spirit, or mythological creature.
In the upper center is a male figure lying on this floor from above, wearing a loincloth with geometric ornaments. Her posture and position create the feeling of a dream, a vision, or an allegory.
On the upper right is a character in traditional clothes with a headdress. He plays with that angel by tossing a ball to each other.
On the lower right is a figure in a light robe with fur trim, holding a baton in his left hand, and in his right a musket that looks up, which may indicate a royal or priestly status.
In the lower part there is an image of a deer lying in the hay.
The figure on the bottom right shoots every 2 minutes and the boy above it falls with each shot, and then after a minute gets up and starts throwing the ball to the angel again (endlessly). And when the boy is lying down, the ball seems to go to the angel on a rope, the angel throws the ball back to him (endlessly).
An angel and a boy throw a ball over a lying man

There is hay scattered near this monastery, on which a man walks, spreading hay with a pitchfork. and behind him, 2 bulls walk in a circle, which are hurried by the second monk from behind the ardent

Also in these monasteries there are 4 pits under closed slabs where the wine is located.

There is also a department in this monastery where they wash the feet of three monks, and then take them and carry them on their shoulders to three elongated cauldrons so that they crush with their feet a soft green similar to mixed berries with grass.

It is located on a small plateau surrounded by gorges.
The complex includes the churches of Saints Nshan, Astvatsatsin (the Virgin) and Gregory, as well as a parish, chapel, library, bell tower, refectory, grave chapels and khachkars.
Monks in knee-length white shirts and black robes with caps under them serve there.

These carpets are hung outside and dried on large sticks. Usually a man and a girl dance there in those costumes (which were listed before)

The central figure is a character in a black robe with horns, a painted face and an expressive pose. He stands with a drum between his legs and strikes with his palm, I raise one hand, then the other. The image combines the demonic and theatrical: the horns refer to mythological creatures, and the makeup and pose refer to masks of oriental theaters.
Background: Frames, paintings, ornaments — create the feeling of a wall-panel, where each element is a separate story. It resembles hagiographic icons, where episodes of the saint's life are depicted along the edges.
Textures and patterns (carpets, fabrics) emphasize the oriental flavor, connection with craft, traditions.
From behind: on the sides of the person, 2 clothes swing from one side to the other:

1. White calf-length clothes and a red knee-length vest (men's clothing with which they wear a jug and a golden bowl). The right sleeve is white, the left sleeve is red.
2. A white calf-length suit with a red knee-length vest with red sleeves and a chestnut hood (Women's clothing worn with a mirror and a massage.
   Meaning: a man pretends to pour liquid into a bowl, stir it with one hand and give the girl a drink.

A man never stops beating the drum!

The background is a neutral monochrome white stone. A golden frame swinging from side to side, which shows a golden angel (without one arm) in a wall projection that is spinning, and behind the angel is a red cloth like a background with white flowers. There is a pillow with a red fabric where tulle is knitted. There is also a red carpet on the floor next to it, next to which lies an open book, and behind this carpet are a sword and a knight's helmet. Behind this composition: a frame, an angel and 2 diamond windows

This shower is located in one of the semicircular ledges (where carpets are washed). There is a light gray room inside and there is a second-floor type of water on top from where five children pour water. Naked men should be standing underwater from below, and an employee, covered with a cloth from the waist down, washes these men with mud. There are empty water basins near them.

The men, who are covered with a multicolored cloth over their heads and below the waist, work as massage therapists. A beautiful light gray place with different Armenian carvings on the walls and columns.
Beds made of stones covered with one similar carpet as a mat. There is a stone for the place of the pillow.
Massage is done here with the help of pain: they can hold your legs with their legs and pull your arms away from pain in the collarbones. After the massage, you can also be washed with foam and doused with water from a jug.

3 cauldrons with boiling water, where certain threads are cooked in each (red, pink, dark blue). The men stir the threads with sticks and then take them out and throw them on aluminum plates near the boiler.
After this water is in the pot, people take the chickens and literally smear the white chickens with this hot water, with their bare hands.

is place is located in the White House. Inside are these Armenian machines that make carpets, with thick threads on a rope on top. The girls were sitting on the stumps, and there was a carpet under the stumps. There is one small carpet hanging on the wall between two single rainbow windows. And there's always a red carpet swinging from side to side between these windows.

Armenian girls wash carpets with water from jugs, someone washes carpets with their feet. The finished carpets lie near these girls on the so-called semicircular ledges.

On this roof of the Sanahin monastery, there are open books that dry in the sun and turn over the leaves because of the wind. The books themselves contain either prayers or homemade drawings of angels.

Water is flowing in this monastery. Ladders are attached to the walls, closer to the windows. There are piles of damp books on the ground in front of the windows, some are pressed down by heavy slabs to remove excess moisture.
People in damp pale blue dressing gowns and dark pale boots walk up the stairs from these windows. They carry around raw books, put them in piles, and after each book they move, they raise their hands up as if praying to the sun.
