Dadyan"s creations are evidence of a combination of ancient historical and religious motifs. In the course of his 30-year career he has rediscovered ancient craftsmanship secrets, and combined them with his own personal techniques of chiseling metal. Dadyan"s works have been presented in the largest galleries of Russia and Europe, and have been successfully acquired by government officials of many countries, and by collectors throughout the world.
His masterly creation of the new chiseling technology has no equal.
Archduke Geza von Habsburg, the artistic director of Faberge & Company, and one of the world"s leading authorities on Faberge, had this to say about Dadyan"s work: "The fine repousse images of Melic Dadayan are part of a great tradition of art of the Eastern Churches reaching back into the Middle Ages from Northwest Russia to as far southeast as Armenia. In a time when contemporary Soviet artists have been vying with each other in ever more modern expressions, it is refreshing to see an old art form so beautifully revived." 1995 City Hall in Germany at the request of the city"s government.
