Artist | Architect, PhD
Tsovinar Muradyan is a Seattle-based artist and architect whose work spans sculpture, public art, and site-responsive installation.
Drawing on a background in architecture and sustainable design, she works across scales, from independent sculptural series to permanent civic commissions. Her practice is informed by a sustained interest in material, light, landscape, and memory, and by the ways physical form shapes our experience of place.
Observation is central to her process. Natural phenomena, patterns of growth and erosion, and the subtle transformations of the built and natural environment often serve as points of departure. Working primarily with steel, bronze, glass, and other durable materials, she develops works that respond to their surroundings through structure, presence, and changing conditions of light.
Muradyan holds an M.S. in Architecture and a Ph.D. in Sustainable Architecture.
