"MIND AT ALL HAS SO MUCH THAT ITS POSSIBLE overcome only became playfully."
Great mysteries of the little people

Man is happy when his senses and mind are in a balanced state when it is not too is fantasy and not too real. They are two polarities, which should not and can not exist without each other. In human life intrudes unreal, game start. Since Homo sapiens (Homo Sapiens), the artist Levon Aslanian, became people play (Homo Ludens). Mind in general has become so great that it is possible to overcome was the only child's play.
Style of the artist is often called "fantastic realism", though Levon, does not recognize the "isms", remarks: "Actually, every artist has its own internal filter. My tries to catch lives in a positive spirit, which makes everyone's life more interesting, more fully. " This is a key point in the paintings of the artist.
Characters Levon - bright, catchy, characteristic of the individual. They are not vague, infantile characters, on the contrary, they are endowed with inner core, thus not only firmly on the ground, but ... can fly. In a lush, medieval queen costume closely catches your eye, asking: "Do not you recognize me, I-neighbor, which sells fruit in the nearest store? And I, in fact - the Queen, it's just not immediately apparent. "
Ordinary people marching in the streets of different cities, Levon plunges in some border areas, to be able to more fully reflect their nature. The main thing for an artist is not the entourage of the Middle Ages or Renaissance, and today a resident of the planet, whose life was greatly transformed and lost the flight of thought and the pleasure derived from the game. With love and technically impeccable writing out the smallest details, he creates the mood of the game and gives his characters an opportunity to frolic in the festive atmosphere. This is inherent in the theater reception, played up in many papers. Here are filled with zero gravity traveling circus, each character is at heart a fragile dreamer. Thanks to the original composition of this painting, the look of each character is crossed and tightly strung onto the canvas, as beads on a string.
Levon often refers to the subject of a traveling theater, with the wind in their hair traveling minestreley, gistrionov, depicting gorgeously dressed royal retinue and bent dwarfs. To paraphrase Shakespeare, the artist insists that clown-key figure in all history. It is free, but freedom means the first opportunity to be yourself, saving a child's spontaneity. Little Chute played on a huge dude, impaling a pointed cap, the surface of reality and adjusts the district on the kindness of his musical messages. Spinning wheel juggler /symbol of transience of Time, and in the soul of the audience are his eyes, which had already fled the circus, and dug into the distance, crossed two worlds: the real world and fantasy world.
This dvoyakost, the duality of human beings, its focus on the eternal dream, Levon looks around and finds the unexpected, often risque situations. That girl coquettishly hiding behind a lace umbrella, flirting with the original lord. But her eyes said that umbrella - not just a beautiful props, and - shelter, trying to escape from one reality to another.
Manner of performance artist, too, is not devoid of duality. In terms of technical solutions to many pattern reminiscent of the Flemish school of painting, /when the artist exhibited in the Netherlands, the Dutch in the first place to admire his own Flemish technique of painting /but at the same time writing technique often seems deliberately decorative, theatrical. And precisely because of this duality Levon seeks special shrillness, plunging into the inner world of his characters, pulls out into the light of their secret desires. A woman with her hair turning into winged butterfly, man, the following message weathervanes, tired of the bells Fool, watch your thoughts flying - all these characters in my life have found that a fulcrum that brings them to life, gives power, recycle energy, thoughts and feelings. These people, bringing to life its share of the holiday, at the same time feel secure,, packed, in a dream.
Here is a toy-shell, reminding us of childhood secrets that were kept in the attics of memory that inspires intricate passages: a fairytale castle on wheels, our eternal home, which is always with us and which we always miss.
A dreamer and a realist, Levon, penetrates into the subconscious, the soul of the viewer, straightening and extending the paradigm of attitude. He eyed his characters see the world, inviting us /at least for an hour /go to their territory of love.
