Paintings. Illustrations.

Levsky Lena

One yellow leaf will tell you about the autumn .

Chinese proverb

A cup of water incapsulates the sea.

The entire world is hidden in the name of an object.

The magic of naming creates a secret and a new meaning.

An illustration is a visible interpretation of Word, an allusion to Text.

A painting is the visual paraphrase of Being, an illusion of Life.

Affection to the object of cognition, interpenetration of diverse impressions and signs of epochs, synthesis of the language media and metaphors, similarity of expressive means of image and word intertwine the world of reality and the world of imagination. Never ending rhymes of word-image associations turn the spiritual dialog of artist and spectator into amazing co-creative communication full of impromptu.

Storylines or a story of lines?

The one always means the other.
