After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul, Kakafian moved to Paris in 1947 to continue his artistic studies. While in Paris, Kakafian was influenced by the great artists of the time, such as Picasso, Matisse and Braque. He was also inspired by the culture and history of his native Armenia. He used these influences to develop his own unique artistic style, which was characterized by vibrant colors and abstract forms. Kakafian has exhibited his work in numerous international exhibitions and has won many prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix of the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition in 1950 and the Gold Medal of the Istanbul Academy of Fine Arts in 1966. His works have been acquired by public and private collections around the world. Kakafian was also a passionate teacher and shared his love of art with many students.

Kakafian died in 1998 in Paris, but his artistic legacy continues to inspire artists around the world. His contribution to contemporary art, as well as his influence on Armenian culture, is invaluable.
