The miniature works of Armen Daneghyan are the continuation of Armenian magnificent Miniature of the Middle Ages.

Modern Miniature is a relatively new field in Armenian Visual Arts. Here Armen displays not only his professional principles and mastership, but also rich knowledge of religion and art. Having received appropriate education, the artist first of all had mastered the technique of Miniature, which is one of the main demands of the Miniature Art.
