Between Then & Now
Marie Khediguian is a Montreal-based Armenian artist whose work explores memory, displacement, and the resilience of inherited stories. Trained as an architect with a B.Arch and M.Arch, she is now pursuing a second bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a focus on painting and drawing. A mother of two, Marie reimagines family photographs and ancestral narratives lost to time.
Failing Towards Brilliance is a personal reflection on the emotional and creative challenges of painting my late mother. Inspired by Arshile Gorky’s decade-long struggle with The Artist and His Mother, I document how grief, memory, and perfectionism shaped this project. What began as an attempt to loosen up artistically became a deep reckoning with failure, identity, and love. This piece explores how process, not product, can be the real act of honoring.
