Specialist note

'There is a silence in my work. It is a silence that includes the innocence of children and the hope of youth and the wisdom of that who has come to know life for what it truly is.'
(The artist quoted in The Paul Guiragossian Foundation, S. Bardaouil and T. Fellrath, Paul Guiragossian: The Human Condition, Beirut 2013, p. 43).
