ABOUT US

As Hayk reflects, “My favorite period of art history is the Renaissance, a time when a single family’s dedication and financial backing fostered an environment in which art could truly flourish—most notably, the Medici family. Among them, my favorite figure is Lorenzo de’ Medici, a perfect example of how one individual can change the course of history.” Indeed, Lorenzo de’ Medici’s patronage played a pivotal role in the flourishing of the arts during the 15th century, and it is through such examples that Hayk draws his inspiration. “Because of his love for art and his unwavering support, we are fortunate to inherit today some of the most iconic masterpieces that humanity continues to celebrate and admire.”

In a similar vein, HayMART seeks to serve as a modern-day patron, bridging the gap between investors and the artists they believe in. While the business side of the art market is an undeniable reality, HayMART ensures that every decision is made with both an eye for profitability and an unwavering commitment to artistic integrity. This delicate balance requires meticulous planning, strategic foresight, substantial financial investment, and, above all, patience. “It is not enough to simply create an art market,” Hayk explains. “We must ensure that both our investors and artists are positioned for success, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem where art can be both a passion and a prudent investment.”

In this vision, the relationship between collectors and investors is symbiotic. “Our collectors eventually become our investors, and our investors, in turn, become our collectors,” Hayk adds. This reciprocal dynamic fosters a robust network of individuals united by a shared love for art, beauty, and the desire to make sound investments for future generations. Over time, this network grows into a community where art serves not only as a cultural treasure but also as a vehicle for financial stability and growth.

As the art world continues to evolve with technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and digital mediums, HayMART remains committed to staying at the forefront of these changes. The tools and methods used by artists are constantly evolving, and in turn, the way art is created, consumed, and invested in is undergoing rapid transformation. Irina and Hayk, along with their dedicated team, travel the world, seeking out emerging trends, exploring new movements, and staying attuned to the shifting currents of the global art market. “The pace of change is astonishing,” Hayk observes. “But it’s also incredibly exciting. We are witnessing a profound shift in how art is made and experienced, and we are thrilled to be part of this journey.”

For the Martirosyans, the end goal is not just about financial success but about crafting a narrative—one that is shaped through visual art and that fosters deeper understanding between cultures, communities, and individuals. “Ultimately,” says Hayk, “art provides us with a mirror to better understand each other and the world around us. It is through these visual stories that we come closer to understanding the human experience in all its complexity.”

In this way, HayMART is more than just a business—it is a dynamic, ever-evolving institution that champions the intersection of art, investment, and innovation. The legacy they are building is not just one of financial prosperity, but also of cultural enrichment, fostering a greater appreciation for art while creating opportunities for meaningful connections and investments.
