This is a portrait of a young boy from Nagorno Karabakh. Dispute over this region led to a series of conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, resulting in thousands of casualties. Over 100,000 citizens of Nagorno Karabakh (almost the entire population) fled to Armenia in one week, following a complete blockade of the region. My friend supports a young person from this region, which inspired me to dedicate a painting to this topic.
