Nune Tumanyan’s works are held in both private and corporate collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Armenia. The medium of Nune Tumanyan’s works is mostly bronze, at times in combination with other media like glass, wood, stone, etc. Nune Tumanyan’s art expresses the infinitely rich spiritual world of man – a world, which, knowing no peace and quiet, is constantly in motion, in conflicts, is full of delights, doubts, frustration. Each of Nune’s works is a complicated creative process, which inevitably brings to a clear expressive solution, characteristic of her own artistic individuality. Through her work, we see the sculptor as an artist, thinking in large-scale categories. Through the fragile poetic shell of her works, the significance of the basic idea always shows, which touches upon and half-opens the concealed sides of a human soul.
