Keeping the Painting on the Easel
Reflections on Life, Career, and the Art of Continually BecomingBy Hratch Tchilingirian
Life is not a finished painting hung upon the wall to be admired as a static artifact of who we are. It is not something we frame and declare, “Here it is; this is my life."

Keeping the Painting on the Easel
Reflections on Life, Career, and the Art of Continually BecomingHratch Tchilingirian | Oxbridgepartners.com | 25 May 2026Life is not a finished painting hung upon the wall to be admired as a static artifact of who we are. It is not something we frame and declare, “Here it is; this is my life.” To view life this way is to deny its very essence. Life is fluid, dynamic, and ever-changing—a living work of art that evolves with every passing moment. This is also true for professional life.
Imagine instead that your life is a painting that remains on the easel, perpetually unfinished. Each day, you approach it with fresh eyes, a brush in hand, ready to add new strokes of color, refine its details, or sometimes paint over entire sections to create something entirely new. This metaphor has helped me see life as a process—a canvas upon which we continuously create and recreate ourselves.

The instrumentalization of religion—especially Islam by Azerbaijan in foreign relations—in the nonreligious Nagorno Karabakh conflict could further deepen the differences among the parties in the conflict and in the region, and make a final resolution and reconciliation even more difficult.
