Artist's Statement -Armusik's paintings deal with the challenges of being an artist, particularly a traditional one. He explores the relationship between experiences in his childhood to unresolved problems as an adult artist in a contemporary art scene. His work celebrates positive or negative experiences as defining elements in his career. In each painting, a door is opened where he purges his confessions onto canvas.
