New episode with Armen Agop: Face the nothingness
Our latest episode is now out.
Listen to Armen Agop: Face the nothingness.
As an Armenian born in Egypt, Armen was always surrounded by desert. He tells us how this gave him a special freedom to dream and how he came to carve in granite.
Some materials are more resistant than others. They always say no. Armen tells us how he discovered a material that suits him. He speaks about marble, basalt and granite and the pros and cons of working in a close artistic community like the one near Pietrasanta.

Enjoy listening.
