Kond
Kond, one of Yerevan’s oldest districts, with its narrow streets, earthly houses, and irregular urban environment, captured Sharambeyan’s attention early in his student years. In this small-scale work, the artist depicts an unassuming scene from the neighborhood’s everyday life, conveying the intimate atmosphere of old Yerevan. Decades later, the painting has acquired particular documentary value: the historic atmosphere of Kond, now threatened by demolition and redevelopment, survives in Sharambeyan’s work as a vivid fragment of the city’s past and cultural memory
