Vahan Djerrahian

Vahan Djerrahian is an Armenian artist from Ethiopia, born in 1954 in Ethiopia.

He went to school in Ethiopia and in Cyprus. Soon after he moved to Lebanon to work and then went to Armenia to study Armenian language and literature.

Vahan Djerrahian moved to The Netherlands, after graduating, where he stayed for many years and finally returned to Armenia.

He is a world traveler, linguist and has always surrounded himself with art(ists). 

It was only when he retired that he took up photography and ever since has captured faces around the world.

The fact that he sees himself as an amateur shows he is as humble and pure as his photographs, but his pictures are far from amateuristic and his occupation might have been something else but his passion has always been art.
