Armenian-American artist Nat Sarkissian works with software to create works of realism, impressionism, and abstraction that often reflect the landscape of California. His work is preoccupied with light, simulation, and complexity, as well as with physical works produced by hand or by robotic machines such as pen plotters and embroidery machines. Sarkissian has released a number of collections, including Eucalyptus and Sagebrush (2022) as part of Cure3 2023 and Sunset from the Bluffs (2023), presented by Bright Moments and included a solo show in Venice Beach, California.

Never the Same explores the movement of a flowery meadow through time. It can produce two types of animation.The first is a view of the meadow as a breeze works its way through the flowers and foliage, this represents a few moments. The second is a view of
the meadow as the plants grow and die, this represents a few weeks or months.

“This work is based on the last few years I’ve spent in San Diego. As I’ve grown comfortable and the newness has worn off, I’ve noticed the rhythms of the seasons around me. The blooms in spring that slowly fade and die off by the end of summer, returning the following year, familiar but different every time.”
