Alongside her career, Goguikian has been engaged in educational activities in various institutions in Lebanon. She taught at the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), at ALBA and at the Toros Roslin Academy. Currently, she teaches Interior design at the Saints-Coeurs Technical College in Bauchrieh, Lebanon.
Goguikian’s background in architecture is perceptible in her work which translates specific circumstances and the emotions that come along through symbolism and the geometry of the city. In the early years of her career, between 1988 and 1990, she painted Beirut destroyed during the Civil War (1975-1990) from a very close point of view.
Beirut remains her main reference, her inspiration, but from the start of the 1990s, the city is painted from a distant point of view and emerges as a tight net of buildings. It loses the illusive and dramatic traits, to enter a more graphic aesthetic.
In the 2000s, Goguikian started to develop the aesthetic she became known for. By using oil paint and a palette knife, she transformed her cities into unfolded landscapes? yellow being the prevalent color, giving a warm tone to the painting. Yellow has both a spiritual and formal dimension. It represents light for Gogukian, both in the physical sense and in the sense of faith.

After the explosion at Beirut port on the 4th of August 2020, she painted in 2021 a series of seven paintings under the name of Éclats de Beyrouth which were exhibited at the XIII Biennale in Florence and earned her the Jury Prize.

Goguikian’s numerous national and international exhibitions, her membership in associations showcase her deep engagement in the art world and her eagerness to use art as a communication tool. Her body of work offers a sensorial experience of the city through it shapes, colors and light.
