One of the things I enjoy about your art is the curve you employ, it is very discernable and is executed with smooth, beautiful arcs. These often form into segments which become unique areas to study and appreciate. Chelmsford is fortunate to have such a rich exhibition. I look forward to visiting it again before the month is over

Artist Daniel Varoujan Hejinian uses the universal language of art to communicate the universal language of the human spirit. His work unites us in life, death, hope. hunger, justice, dignity, hate and love. Peace is the common denominator that captures the essence of humanity in his art.
The United Nations Association of Greater Boston selected the drawing "Peace of Life" for the 2004 Film Festival, "Enduring Hope: The Tenacity of the Human Spirit." This work speaks to our changing world and our role as global citizens to value human life.

The art work is classic in the sense that "it is directly related to the high concept of art in the European tradition. He makes a great effort in the belief that art matters as a path to evoke and overcome the challenges of life. For example, the musician in 'Crucifixion of the Musician' attains victory over life though music, but he's worn out by his effort." Pierce further states that Varoujan works from "a romantic vision that lets him talk directly about inner states and the triumphs of perception." In Varoujan's art, "there's a passion and sincerity in what he does. There's no cool detachment, no irony. He deals in the grand romantic manner with life and the victories of affirmation possible through the practice of art. In this he stands apart from much of the contemporary art stream."
