Lusik Aguletsi was born on May 31, 1946, in the village of Verin Agulis in Nakhichevan, to the Harutyunyan family; the last Armenians living in Agulis after the 1919 Agulis massacre committed by the Azerbaijanis. Her experience in Agulis was the inspiration for the character “Lusik” in the novel Stone Dreams by Azerbaijani author Akram Aylisli.[2][4] In 1953, Aguletsi’s family moved to Yerevan. In 1963-1967, she studied at the Panos Terlemezyan Art College of Yerevan. During her studies, she was awarded a special prize by the "Avangard" newspaper. She was a member of the Artists' Union of Armenia from 1974.[5]
Lusik Aguletsi's paintings are in museums and private collections abroad. In addition to painting, Aguletsi was an active ethnographer. She collected weapons, costumes, decorations, and ancient jars. Some of them were brought from her native Agulis and the rest from different corners of Western and Eastern Armenia.[3]
Lusik Aguletsi died on July 13, 2018, at the age of 72.[6]
ExhibitionsEdit
From 1968, Aguletsi participated in various republican exhibitions in Armenia and abroad.
2011 Lusik Aguletsi's book "Relics of the Past" won the main prize at the 4th Republican Book Art Awards, and also won the first prize in the "Book of Art" category of the CIS International Book Awards.
The house on 79 Muratsan Street in Yerevan, where Lusik Aguletsi lived and worked for about 45 years, was turned into a house-museum on the initiative of family members. In the museum, folk concerts, painting, dance and master classes are organized. Adjacent to the museum is the Aguletsi Art Cafe, which features traditional Armenian cuisine with Agulis dishes.[3][9]
