"My work is inspired by the metaphysical- E.T.'s, spirits, ghosts, inter-dimensional space creatures, alternate realities, anything that hints at the idea that we are just a small part of the unimaginably vast universe. Some of my UFO and E.T. themed works are based on hypnosis sessions of people who believed they had been abducted by aliens and other accounts of mass UFO sightings from around the world. I’ve created human/alien hybrid creatures based on the experiences these people described. All of the works, I feel incorporate the inherent beauty of interpreting both the known and unknown.

I was born in Yerevan, Armenia and earned a BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. I currently live and work in Los Angeles, CA with my husband, two dogs, and fish named Masquerade." - Ana Bagayan
