Ashot Avagyan (Armenian: Աշոտ Ավագյան; born May 20, 1958) is a modern Armenian artist who lives and works in Sisian, Armenia.
The cornerstone of Avagyan's artistic work is the cultural heritage of his homeland Sisian and Syunik. Iconography from Neolithic petroglyphs and medieval Armenian gravestones are present in Avagyan's works on canvas, while ancient tales, rituals, and their interpretations and ancient local monuments (Zorats Karer, Portakar, Ukhtasar petroglyphs) are integrated into his performances.
Ashot Avagyan was awarded the state prize in 2013 for the fresco Mashtots, located in the symposium hall of the newly built subsidiary building of the Mashtots Matenadaran.
Besides artistic work, Avagyan taught fine arts at Sisian Children's Art School after Z. Khachatryan from 1981-2016. From 2010-2018 Ashot was curating works of the megalithic site ''Zorats Karer historical-cultural reserve''.
Since 1988 he has been actively engaged in sociopolitical activities of Armenia, particularly Sisian. He was involved in local politics, elected as a member of the City Council of Elders, and has been a member of the Sisian committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation since 1990․ He participated in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the 2016 Nagorno-Karbakh conflict, and the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War as a member of the Sisakan volunteer detachment.
