Three centuries of tradition

Artur's roots are deeply embedded in art. Back in the 18 century, his great grandfather Gevorg

Kalaijian built over seventeen Armenian Churches in West Armenia.

His grandfather and father continued this artistic tradition and were well known craftsmen whose

metal works, railings, gates and fences decorate buildings throughout Abhasia and Russia.

Artur knew from a young age that he was destined to follow his family's tradition.

He graduated one of the finest schools of art in Moscow with his masters in sculpting, hand-wood

carving and design. Along with his father, they opened and operated a well-known company

called "Eskusstvo" in Russia.

They specialized in the restoration of historical masterpieces and worked on restoring the Throne

of Peter in St.Petersburg, Pushkin's Museum in Moscow, and the Church of Kelln in Germany.

They also designed and fabricated works of art for the academy of Ury Gagarin who was the

first cosmonaut.

 

         

Hand-crafted artistry continues in America

In the mid-90's, Artur moved with his family to the United States. Along with his sister, Arpik,

an accomplished professional iconographer (artist specializing in pictorial illustration), and his father Tigran, they continued their master craftsmanship here. They joined in 1996 Conrad Schmitt Studios, then in 1998 Inspired Artisans Studio, this firms specializing in liturgical art design, fabrication and restoration.  

They participated in a multitude of projects. One of the more noteworthy endeavors include the design and fabrication of 14 original stained glass windows for St. John's Armenian Church in Greenfield, Wisconsin which was dedicated by his eminence Archbishop Khajag Barsamian.  

They also crafted a life size hand carved wood statue of the holy family in Harland, Wisconsin, Statues of St. Mary in Saratoga, California and a life size Virgin Mary holding child for St. Mary's church in Elgin, Illinois. They also participated in restoration of stained glass windows of St. John Basilica church in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
