He continued his studies at the school of civil engineering, graduating in 1933 with a degree in engineering and architecture. In 1950, he began studying sculpture at the Grande Chaumière Academy in Paris. Around 1952 he relocated permanently to France where he concentrated on working with bronze. In 1961, Dikran became a full-time sculptor. He presented his work at exhibitions and various galleries until the end of the 1980s.
