"With his previous Halo Series, and now with the Crown Series, Hrair is commenting on the masks of society. The artist’s characters have the marks of magnitude and symbols of acute power on their heads but they glare with despondent insecurity. For Hrair, the world is a rat race, and not necessarily created equal. Individuals may inherit greatness, like monarchs of the past, but often fall short in terms of merit." -Irina Gusin, Art of the Times
