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.
