Solitude and isolation from the outer world - are the basic themes of Mais Mkhitaryan's portraits. The mysterious texture of his artworks carries a supply of energy, a special spirituality. One can feel an experience of the past ages in Mais's, canvases, which is reflected either in the atmosphere, or in the visual resemblance with the works of professional artists, of the past. But the painter doesn't display direct analogies with the great masters, he just makes use of their advices, interpreting them in the light of his own world outlook. The creation of Mais, a self-tought artist, possesses a good handcraft quality, becoming a deficiency nowadays.
