Emil Kazaz Self Portrait Requiem for a Forgotten World

Emil Kazaz Self Portrait
Requiem For a Forgotten World

Born on January 14, 1953 in Gyumri, Armenia, Emil Kazaz was trained as an artist in the traditional academy style. Beginning at the age of seven, he studied sculpture at the local art school and attended the Mercurov Art School when he was 12. After moving to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, he continued his studies at the Terlemezian Art College, which he finished in 1972, and the University of Fine Arts and Theater, from which he graduated in 1978 with honors. He settled in Los Angeles in 1980. His CV since then reads like any aspiring artist's dream come true: a steady stream of exhibitions in Europe, Asia, Russia, North and South America, Canada, and throughout the United States, along with international critical recognition, including the prestigious Lorenzo Medici medal from the Florence Biennale in 2003 and Grande Lorenzo il Magnifico (Medici) Prize in Sculpture from Florence Biennale 2007. Emil Kazaz lives and continues to work in Los Angeles.
