The Latin Quarter by Liudmila Kondakova A Framed Limited Edition Serigraph Donated by Vermeer Corporation
I wish I were in Paris.. Kondakova paints with a sense of enchantment and idealism. In contract to her engineering degree, her paintings portray images and locations that combine reality with a dose of wistfulness. Her sometimes quiet and reserved personality belies the passion with which she paints and the devotion with which she pours her soul into her work. Kondakova graduated from the Grabar Center in Moscow, and then pursued her studies at Russia's School of Sacred Arts, the Moscow Pedagogical Institute and the Moscow Art Institute. It was the monastic icon painters of Moscow's St. Alexi Cathedral that provided Kondakova with her most influential training during her apprenticeship there. "The monks shared the secrets of the solemn beauty of icon painting with me, a beauty that lies in the love that goes into each detail, no matter how small or insignificant. in my art, the essence and beauty has always rested in the details. " Her paintings, rich with clarity and light, reflect a sense of artistic and spiritual well-being, and her meticulous attention to detail in her hand-pulled serigraph prints allows the viewer to become involved in the life of her paintings. Although Paris is a favorite setting of her intimate street scenes, she has portrayed beautiful cities from all over Europe in her paintings and studies. Her work is the subject of a monograph, Liudmilla Kondakova, A World of Enchantment.
