Apr232021, 10:37 am Visual artist Andrew Tavukciyan has been creating artwork for what he describes as his “whole life.” It’s his outlet for everything. After making a compromise with his parents to study industrial design at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Tavukciyan pivoted and followed his passion for art upon graduation — diving into volunteering with the Vancouver Mural Festival in 2016. “It’s basically been snowballing since then,” Tavukciyan tells Daily Hive of his career as a professional artist. Fast forward to 2021, and he’s one of three artists that have been commissioned by Shaw Communications to create murals with a special impact — celebrating this year’s Vancouver Sun Run.
