"I do not want anyone to suffer the same fate"
I do not complain. I do not like complaining, says Eduard Ter-Kazarian, the founder of microminiature art.
The family of Eduard Ter-Kazarian, who made micro figures on the grains of rice and gold, lives on his pension today.
The prominent microminiaturist cannot even afford to open a small exhibition.
"If they want they can help me but as you see they do not want to support me. I simply need a small area to open an exhibition. I do not pin great hopes on the officials; I only rely on myself," says Eduard Ter-Kazarian who was called "The Eighth Wonder of the World" during an exhibition in the USA.
The name of the Armenian microminiaturist was included in the list of "200 Wonders of the World published by Cambridge University.
Means of mass media in numerous newspaper and magazine publications speak about his versatile talented art, characterize him as a world-famous, unsurpassed micro-miniaturist, an eminent master of violin, a gifted musician, a skilled sculptor, an excellent painter and cartoonist.
The great inventor no longer speaks about his new inventions as he has no money to demonstrate them in the world.
"I am respected worldwide. But I am modest and cannot "rob" the state that is why I cannot open even an exhibition. Anyway, I am not going to leave my homeland," says Eduard Ter-Kazarian.
"I want our officials to stand in the shoes of our people. I do not want anyone to suffer the same fate," the microminiaturist concluded.
So far, scientists have been unable to explain the secret of Kazarian's moving miniatures.
The world was shocked at the sight of his works that are unmatched till these days -Gulliver and Lilliputians, violins of Stradivarius, Abu Lala Mahari where the legs of camels are 300 times thinner than a hair.
