- Grikor Aghasian is a follower of the realistic trend. His paintings display fusion of the traditions of the Russian academic school of drawing and peculiarities of Armenian national vision of colour. Combination of traditionalism and thirst for experiment imparts a special charm of freshness and naive purity to all his works. The artist draws his themes from real life and environment and he is apt to notice the beautiful in plain and ordinary things. Agbasian is the author of numerous portraits, genre and landscape paintings.
- Characters portrayed in his landscape and genre paintings are peaceful workers, absorbed in their thoughts and simple everyday pursuits.In Grikor Aghasian's pictures the inner world of the painter, the whole range of his feelings and thoughts is fully objectivized and counterbalanced.This counterbalance of sentiments and thoughts is the chief magnetic force of the artist's creative work.
