On 27 January 2011, a special evening was organized at the Calouste Gulbenkian auditorium in Antelias to honour the Lebanese Armenian painter, Hrair.
Mr. Sarkis Guiragossian welcomed the audience in both Arabic and Armenian and spoke of Hrair’s unique style in painting and his contribution to the world of art. He then invited Ms.Claudia Chamoun-Abi, a Lebanese art critic and Mr. Walid Awwad, a Lebanese journalist, to discuss the contribution of the Armenian-Lebanese artist to Lebanon, the Arab World and other countries.
After a cultural programme dedicated to Hrair, His Holiness Aram I concluded the evening, saying, “You conquered the world of art through your paintings and you did not lose your identity; you continued to fulfil your vision with determination. This is the journey of a real artist.” Following his speech, the Catholicos decorated Hrair with the honorary medal of St. Mesrob Mashdotz.
