Born in Ismail (The Ukraine). In his works you will find marks and traces of his Slavonic spirit, interweaving with the close to him as a sensation Eastern aesthetics and philosophy. . “In his pictures Alexander Telalim achieves mutual inter-penetration of the opposing principles “painter-object”. His inherent creative freedom and his ability to reveal the internal essence of the object brings life to everything his brush touches on. The media itself becomes an independent personage. The oil paint in his works looks like a coulee, under which the Fire of Creation is perceived, and the aquarelle is like Water in its eternal, restless, ever-flowing state. Alexander Telalim’s pictures generate from a peculiar meditative state – both the key to the “magic garden” and the flower that we carry away.” – “L’Elsace” Newspaper,Saint Luis, France

"One of the most important considerations in my work is to make sculptures as synchronized with the surrounding environment as possible. Usually, this is provoked by the influence, which the concrete place exerts on me – its architecture, its nature, its culture, the way of life of those who would interact with it. This process usually leads to the harmonious co-existence of all of the above elements and the artistic work. In the last few years stone has become the main means with which I work. I consider it the most suitable material whereby I express visually my creative quests. What I wish to reach in my work with stone is to remain in harmony with it. My interacting with a particular piece of stone is also essential to the final result. I want to decipher its inner life and extract my own meaning out of it, interfering with its nature as little as possible but making the most of its power and soul." - Ilko Nikolchev

“Everyone, who has had the chance to get closer to Shani, must have felt his total dedication to art, as a process of creation, through which (process) Shani expresses all his thoughts and emotions. His restless spirit constantly pushes him to search for more and new means of expression, to experiment and, despite this restlessness, it is amazing, that we (as observers) would still feel the aerial touch of his fine Armenian fingertips the creators of Shani’s style. This means a view of life, in which, as in a fairy-tale mirror, the whole richness of Shani’s soul is reflecting. There we will find philosophic sociality, as well as satire, sarcasm, but also tender lyricism.” – Ivan Koutuzov
