Lyudmila Chizhikova, Olga Kuvina, Oksana Chudnaya, Maria Guseva. CONSONANCE

The exhibition "Consonance" was born suddenly, impulsively, as if in response to an unexpectedly hot and bright summer that visited the city on the Neva.

The exhibition presents paintings by four authors, each of whom has gone through his life and creative path, has his own view of the world, expresses it in his own way through his work. This creative self-expression also occurs in different ways, very unlike each other, very individually. But there is something that unites the work of these four artists. This is the ability to see the beauty around, to see the important and valuable in the simple, everyday, the desire to enjoy this simple, because it is the main thing, it is love. The desire to love life, to love this world around us, to love the eternal. Willingness to create. In the works of all artists one can feel consonance with their beloved city, with time and with each other.
