I painted 'Benign' during the month of June when the lilies were in bloom in New York City. Various shades of these flowers are reflected in this painting. This was the external influence. As for the internal, this painting emerged as a member of the series I am currently working on which reflects on the female body. At the time, I was thinking about benign cysts, how they silently emerge during the menstrual cycle and just as silently disappear, hence the title of this work. My intention with the bulbous shapes of the paining was to mirror the different shapes cysts can take within our bodies. The main contrasting theme of greens and pinks crates an ambivalence about the nature of this piece which is put to rest by the title - Benign. Benign was 3rd Best in Show at the COLOR exhibition at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition.

Born in Yerevan, Armenia, Shushanik Karapetyan is a New York based artist. Her work has been showcased at the National Association of Women Artists, Governors Island, BRIC, La Bodega Gallery, LIC Arts Open, Site: Brooklyn Gallery, and Art Mums United. Shushanik's paintings are informed by her work as a gestalt psychotherapist, placing significance on the present moment, being attuned to both internal processes and external influences as she works on a piece. While paintings begin with some form of structure (i.e. a seascape or a landscape), this structure is tentative and flexible and is often guided by moment-to-moment decisions, whether it’s the choice of brush, color, texture, or movement in the painting. There is often a repetitive piece to her work such as pointillist strokes with a filbert brush or sweeping long strokes with a flat brush. She is inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, often communicating femininity, sensuality and organic motifs, as well as impressionist artists like Georges Seurat and Claude Monet, tapping into the ability of the human eye to blend points of colors on their own.
