Bouquet of Love by Yuroz

Original Oil on Board

Collectors love Yuroz’s cubist style – so reminiscent of Picasso – as well as his recurrent themes of love and companionship. The artist’s own hardships only serve to make him more appreciative of the tender moments shared between friends and lovers. Drawing on his Armenian heritage, Yuroz incorporates the imagery of the pomegranate into his art, as well as other symbols, such as the blue rose, the book of poetry and the guitar without strings. Each element tells a part of the story, illuminating the nature of the relationship between the characters and what the future holds for them.

Learn More About Yuroz's Symbolism

-The Blue Rose – Rose is the name of a woman Yuroz knew in Armenia. The blue rose acknowledges their friendship and represents love and flowering romance. Usually, the blue rose is held and exchanged between lovers.

-The Pomegranate – A fruit that grows on a shrub or small tree, about the size of an orange and containing many small seeds, each enclosed in a juicy red pulp. Traditionally a gift between lovers signifying love and passion, the pomegranate also symbolizes fertility, sexuality, and potential.

-The Guitar – Always portrayed without strings, the woman’s suitor creates music with his love. This is the symbol of seduction and supplication, an instrument whose sole purpose is to garner love and affection from the object of his desire. It also represents creative energy.

Yuroz is the artist of the people. Lovers, musicians, poets, athletes, the homeless, and even refugees fill his canvases, drawing forth the spectrum of emotions and moods that reside deep in the human soul. Yuroz’s amazing ability to bring this soulful human quality to fruition through his art stems from his own life experiences.

Born in Soviet Armenia in 1956, Yuroz was only ten years old when he entered the renowned Akop Kodjoyan School of Art in the Armenian capital of Yerevan. After graduating with honors, Yuroz gathered up his incredible talents and entered the Yerevan University of Art and Architecture. His natural aptitude for architecture can be seen to this day in every aspect of his art. Yuroz’s most recent sculpture, the life-sized “A Delicate Balance,” displays an artist with an implicit knowledge and understanding of how angles and lines must converge to create the lovely curves of the human form.

In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI commissioned Yuroz to create a large-scale painting in honor of Arcangelo Tadini, the Saint of the Working Women. The Light of Compassion gained Yuroz the honor of being the only living American artist to be a part of the Vatican’s permanent collection.
