Galina Kononova

Amazingly talented, deep, subtly feeling and at the same time strong in spirit … These epithets are about a wise woman and a great artist in one person – Galina Kononova.

Art and life are inseparable for me. Talent is a Gift. When you, like a vessel, are overflowing with Beauty that you want to share. Art for me is not a profession, it is Life. This is when one exists in another: life in art, art in life. Art is not something that is not at all heard that is fashionable. An artist is born for the future and in the present may not be accepted at all. Publicity is not a criterion of the present. Only if there is a real grain in creativity, then it will live and respond in souls.
