Charles Karubian creates paintings that are raw, contemplative explorations of human experience. His paintings merge figuration and abstraction, using light and scale to reflect on the messy complexities of life. Tending towards themes of desire, power, and the inevitability of change, loss, and finality, his work draws inspiration from both history and the unfolding banalities and dramas of the world around him.
