International Fine Art and Fashion Photographer, Arline Malakian is passionate about creating distinctive images that convey inner beauty celebrated in female sensibility.
Malakian says her photographs are about transcendence and the power to make connections.
Her art is a question defying limitations of time; her vision of beauty and design, an invitation to explore beyond the temporal veneer of the obseved.
Her ideology stretches in poetry and mastery of photographic technique to encompass the deepest sense of integrity at every level.
“My personal approach to image making is the rendering of an incessant duality through a dance of the female. Light is my inspiration and the structure of my photographs.
Art fuels my quest for the unseen mystery. Poetry is my visual language. While Fashion has always been my ally in branding time and mood, I find myself in the process of creating art for art sake guided through dreams and the unspoken connection with the observed ..." -Arline Malakian
