Some of his works were found in the Mosul region (Iraq). There he painted some saints for several Chaldean churches. However, his place of origin seems to be in the region around Mardin (Turkey). Probably he was an Armenian self-made artist who offered his services to different groups of Christians and expressed some characteristics of their spiritual identity in those lands during the XIX century. However, much more field research has to be done before reaching definitive results. Vossel, Vincent van. “Who Is the Unknown Painter?
