The viewer is well acquainted with the works of the author. V. Kuznetsova is a participant in more than 80 art exhibitions held in various cities of Russia and foreign countries - Prague, Warsaw, Salzburg and Barcelona.

“I always want to do ceramics, this joy is unspeakable. The theme of my work is simple: what I see, remember what I think about, I "sing". But I see and feel the world created by God. " "God is love. He who does not love does not know God. ” This is how the amazing artist Valentina Kuznetsova creates - like the hymn of Love - her unusual ceramic world. The anthem of Love - merciful, reconciling, healing, which "is patient, covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, transfers everything."

Simplicity is one of the important advantages of the works of Valentina Kuznetsova. Simplicity in life and especially in art is a high and elusive quality. The simplicity of her work is by no means “naive” or “primitive”. It is the result of the artist’s thoughtful, professional work, aimed primarily at revealing the image. Her handwriting. And yet, the simplicity of the plots, the simplicity and artlessness of the relations of her heroes, the special plastic simplicity cannot explain the whole magic of the effect of her ceramics on the feelings and hearts of people. Perhaps it is based on the beauty of native nature, the warmth of the family,

A reverent attitude to the rich traditions of the village and to literature received from parents-teachers, support of her father in her early passion for art. Unforgettable communication with the famous Moscow artists who came in the 1960s, former students of the Moscow Secondary School of Art (MAKSH), who lived in Voskresensky for more than two years in evacuation during the war.

All the works of V. Kuznetsova, whether portraits, genre compositions, works on biblical subjects, which formed the basis of the exposition, embody the author’s worldview, the gamut of complex and deep human feelings. They find their plastic embodiment in the compositional solution, the movements of the characters and, with special expressiveness, in the gesture of touching, touching hands. Hands give comfort, compassion, protection, and forgiveness. Endless tenderness and happiness in the hands of a mother caressing a baby or a grown child "I am with you." No less expressive are man’s hands cradling the long-awaited granddaughter on his shoulder, or the hands of Simeon the God-Receiver, who reverently hold the baby Jesus. Kindness and pacification in the hands of the mother, clutching her daughter, who returned after a long separation, are all-forgiving hands full of comfort and joy of finding their adult child. The picturesque portraits from the series "My Contemporaries", decorating a series of ceramic plates are just as soulful.

Flowers are also one of the favorite and significant themes in the work of Valentina Kuznetsova. Work on this topic accounted for a significant part of the exposition. Flowers in female hands: hugging a bouquet from a loved one, a sad bouquet of the last date lying on her lap, the song "My bells…" and unpretentious forget-me-nots in the girl’s hands. Archangel Gabriel with white lilies - a symbol of the Annunciation. And just the flowers. There are a lot of them, different - molded, captivating in color and plastic, in vases, in bouquets, whole “Blooming Glades”, with their mood, “intonation”.

The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to get in touch with the work of an amazing master, whose works give the viewer love and warmth and help open his heart.
