MARIA Kononov
curated and presented by historian and art critic
George Gregory Grasso
Maria Kononov was born in 1997 in New Jersey, USA, where he begins to draw to the game when he was only three years old, spontaneously took pencil and paper and began to make cutouts of dogs and horses to play with. The unusual talent did not go unnoticed and even then his fellow kindergarten lined up asking Mary to draw their favorite animal.
Early start to experiment with different techniques, its spectrum of colors continued to grow, rising from ink pens, pastels, watercolors by color to natural paints, also exploring the various textures of paper, tissues and at the end of the canvas.
At this point, Maria finds herself catapulted into solo exhibitions around the world, from Brussels to London to Moscow.
The young artist is also actively involved in exhibitions and charity auctions, the proceeds will be donated to orphanages. Today, many of his works are in private collections around the world.
In addition to exhibitions, the works of Mary have been published as cover for the five books written by his grandfather, the physician and writer Vladimir Naidin, and thousands of greeting cards have been sold worldwide. In 2007, Maria achieves 20 sketches of dresses for girls and boys of his age. From these drawings will then be made and presented a fashion show in 2008.
Media and tv emphasize the event and Mary was invited to repeat the show in Moscow, where the magazine Alef acclaims as the "world's youngest fashion designer"
Today, like many young men of his age, Kononov Maria enjoys reading and listening to music, relaxing in long rides.
But the consuming passion of Mary remains inexorably art.
Any country you visit, Maria recorded his impressions mentally that pours onto his canvases, folklore of different countries nourish his imagination: the statues come to life, pigs fly across the sky and Pegasus talk to the moon.
The work of Maria supported by his beloved family, couple every day, leaving a constant feature in his paintings, leaving only emotions to the lucky visitors who get lost in the way of his work.
