Biography
Krikor Agopian (born December 14, 1942 in Beirut Lebanon) is a Canadian-Armenian painter.
As a youth educated in Canada, he took courses on commercial, fashion, industrial, and furniture design. His designs earned him an acceptance at Concordia University as an applicant for an electronic engineering degree. After a design course in his major, Agopian was offered an individual exhibition, a rare event for first-year students. On witnessing his work, his professor urged him to switch to fine arts.
