Levon Aslanyan | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Born into an amateur family of arts, Levon began learning about painting and drawing at the age of 4. “The spontaneous creation of an imaginary character reveals [his] artistic sensibility and [his] taste for creation.” Wishing to pursue this path, he signed up for the Yerevan School of Fine Arts in 1975, then in order to perfect his pictorial practice, he continued studying at the National Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 1992.Painted with acrylics or oils, Levon’s canvases allow us to see strongly expressive and charismatic characters. Splendidly dressed, they evolve in a timeless décor as if they have come straight from a fantastic tale that everyone can make their own interpretation. Fond of the world of theatre and acting, the painter conceives his works as fragments of freedom and love that offer the possibility of extracting oneself once from pure reality to enter a parallel world marked by lightness and optimism.
