One thousand angels and one painting

In 2000 Lekim Ibragimov had an idea to create a painting based on the legendary "One Thousand and One Nights" oriental fairy tales. During 10 years he has been thinking of a concept for this art project, the implementation of which Lekim Ibragimov began in 2010. He finished his mega canvas in the spring of 2012. The project is called "One thousand angels and one painting". The name accurately reflects the projects essence, because it is a mega-canvas of 500 square meters area (8 feet high and 66 meters long), consisting of thousands individual canvases. Each painting is a complete story, depicting an angel. [2] At a first glance you might think that it is a mosaic. However, it is not true, as a whole painting is not composed of separate unfinished pieces. There is a metamorphosis, when all the individual and independent units are combined to form a new and completely unique painting. The presentation of the canvas took place in Prague in 2012. And then in 2013 in Moscow. In 2014 in sunny Tashkent.The exhibition in Moscow was attended by the international agency for registration of records "Interrecord" and two world records were registered in the nominations "Interrecord" and "The largest number of angels in one picture".
