About
The Talent of Russia International Contemporary Art Competition started in 2018 and takes place at the most prestigious exhibition venues in Moscow. This project involves authors from different regions of Russia, as well as representatives from several foreign countries.
The competition presents works in two main areas: a) traditional art and b) modern art. However, works in the style of contemporary art are not accepted for the competition.
Art is about more than being created by human hands. It is born from a source hidden in the depths of our soul. High art, sincerely created with life-affirming and humane ideas, not only reflects reality, but also actively participates in its transformation, contributing to changes in life.
