Biography
Armenian-American artist Sassoon Kosian creates geometric abstractions that merge architectural clarity with spiritual resonance. Born in Georgia, raised in Armenia, and based in New Jersey, USA, he has spent more than two decades in the United States refining a visual language rooted in transformation, balance, and the contemplative inner life.
An award-winning artist trained at the Art Students League of New York, Kosian began his practice in painting and mixed media before expanding into geometric sculpture. His work now spans acrylic paintings and tridimensional sculptures built from metal, wood, cardboard, plastic. While his paintings follow a deliberate, analytical design process, his sculptural work is more intuitive, allowing instinct and material behavior to shape the final form.
Kosian’s art often centers on the human journey toward inner evolution, drawing on spiritual concepts such as duality, symmetry, synchronicity, and the “as above, so below” principle. His geometric planes—often triangular facets arranged in near-symmetrical constellations—suggest states of energy, emergence, and renewal. The interplay of color and form becomes a meditation on consciousness itself.
A gallery review noted the coherence and tension across his portfolio: even as works differ in volume and surface treatment, they share a unified formal logic. Kosian’s sculptures create an illusion of symmetry through their intricate, multifaceted structures—“beautiful tridimensional artworks,” as one gallerist described them, evoking “a potential alien cactus” composed of innumerable edges. These shifting facets activate a dynamic interaction with the viewer, changing with movement, perspective, and light. This responsiveness echoes the spiritual dimension of his practice: perception is never fixed, and meaning unfolds through engagement.
Kosian has exhibited widely across the United States, and his works are held in private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. Pieces such as As Above, So Below and New Life embody his belief that geometry can reveal not only structure, but spirit—inviting viewers to experience abstraction as a living, evolving presence.
