Nané Tuman

Nané Tuman (Amalya Nane TUMANIAN) is a professional artist who works in oil, acrylic, and mixed media. The style and subject of her works vary from abstract to figurative. She has numerous solo and group exhibitions locally and internationally in the United States, Italy and France. Several private and institutional collections have acquired many of her works.

Nané TUMAN’s artistic journey is a dynamic and evolving narrative that spans various styles and techniques, reflecting a deep exploration of both technical skills and personal expression. The transition from a realistic and academic style to experimentation with different techniques, followed by embracing a figurative expressionist style and ultimately settling into abstract, showcases her willingness to push artistic boundaries and engage in a continual process of self-discovery.

Nané Tuman’s abstract artworks successfully combine the rigor of geometric shapes with the freedom of interpretation, making them ensemble masterpieces of modern abstract art. Their dynamic compositions evoke both movement and balance, illustrating the harmonious interplay of forms. The light shadows and color contrast refine the overall aesthetic, adding depth and dimension to her abstract works.

The interplay of hues and the fluidity and harmony of forms draws the eye with the bold use of bright hues, and intricate shapes giving the whole a captivating harmony, demonstrating a perfect mastery of contrast, evoking depth and mystery. Nané Tuman (nickname) was born in Yerevan, Armenia, where she taught at the School of Fine Arts and was a member of the Soviet Union of Arts under the last name Ovsepyan.

Several of her works have been purchased by the Russian and Armenian governments and are exhibited in museums and public places. In 1991, due to the war and economic difficulties in Armenia, she with her family of three children emigrated to the United States. There, she obtained among other prestigious degrees, a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco, California.

Her success extends internationally. Her works have been the subject of group exhibitions, notably in Armenia, Hungary, Spain, Russia, Germany, and in later years, in China, Taiwan, the United States, the UK, and France. Her paintings are part of private collections in many countries. She has had numerous solo and group exhibitions, including “Art Shopping” at the Carrousel of Louvre, “Art Capital” with the Society of French Artists in 2022 and 2025, “Art 3f” Reims, “Regards Croisés” Paris, Seol, Pekin, among others.

In 2022, she received the Bronze Medal from the French Society of Arts, Sciences, and Literature. She is a member of the Maison des Artistes, the Sociétés des Arts, des Sciences et des Lettres, and the Taylor Foundation in France. Since 2018, she has lived and created her artistic works in Il-de-France. “I find that figurative expressionism, with its emphasis on subjective and emotional representation, provides a powerful platform for conveying the complexities of the human condition. I paint in oil, acrylic, or mixed media. In the past, I made also sculptures. However, due to the limitations of my living space I could not continue. One specific of my working style is that I often work on or rework my paintings for several months, even years, to achieve the desired aesthetic refinement that transmits my artistic philosophy so that each work tells a story or conveys intended emotion to the viewer”.

“I began my artistic journey at 15 when I created my first oil painting. During my studies in art schools and the following years my artistic style could be defined as realistic that with a time transitioned to expressionist style. Inspired by the complexity of life, nature, and human relationships, I aim to capture the essence of their interaction and translate it into tangible expressions.”

“Interested in the philosophical and emotional sides of my works, I often use a combination of abstract geometric and organic shapes to express a duality of contemporary society, both physical and virtual. I invite viewers to explore the power of the idea, immerse themselves in their interpretations, and embrace the beauty of visual form”.
