As is clear to us all, the past is already known so the only thing left open to us is the future. And Sarkissian allows us to see a glimpse of that future with his amble and vivid use of color, which in its own way serves to signify thoughts of life, regeneration, and hope. In this way, the energy encapsulated within the swaths of color continually bursts forth upon the senses of the viewer in such a way as to carry them away from the staid boring past into the beautiful color-filled future of the unknown.

"Above all, Sarkissian’s is an art of transition, a demonstration of the flow of human experience from the felt to the known, from the intuited to the studied, and back again."
