About the Artist
Nshan Der Kalousdian was born on October 14th 1950, in Lebanon. During
his adolescence his talent for art in paintings was recognized and led
him to study several art courses at the American University of
Beirut. Der Kalousdian, who signs his work Nshan DK, has been painting
for over 40 years.

Growing up in the valley surrounded by farmland had a major impact on
his artwork. He depicts landscapes and farmland with emotion that
presents a sense for the people living that life. Majority of his work
is in oils and acrylics, but more recently, he has been using
watercolors as his medium.

Der Kalousdian taught math and physics in various secondary schools in
Lebanon for many years. In 1978, he immigrated to the United States
with his wife Arous. They were blessed with 3 children: Movses, Ara
and Maral. He currently resides in Fresno, California.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
