Daniel Varoujan Hejinian is an internationally known artist His work can be found in private, corporate, and museum collections. He studied art in the Fine Arts and Drama Institute in Yerevan, Armenia, and he holds a Master's Degree in Fine Arts. He initiated his Ph.D. studies in this prestigious institute before relocating to Massachusetts. Varoujan is one of those rare artists who combine natural innate talent and superb creativity, with academic classic training. The combination is a recipe for greatness and the result is a series of beautiful paintings. Varoujan has a unique signature style. He's a master craftsman who eloquently defines spaces, situations and relations with the strokes of his brush. His paintings portray a physical connection between two people, as a metaphor for their spiritual communion. Varoujan's passion for life and romance, as well as his love for women as symbols of life, are depicted in these sophisticated paintings.

As the light of a candle held in one's hand will create the illusion that the hand is transparent, quasi immaterial, so are some of the women in his paintings. Their bodies seem to be of wax melting under a glow and revealing the transparency of their intentions and the mystery of their wants. The softness of the light reveals the transparency of the soul. Day and night, black and white, light and shadows reveal the subjects in their drama. Fingers barely touching reveal the sensuality of the subjects. Touching is a mystery that reveals itself in the story being told, and the viewer is invited to complete the story.
