“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
