The curator of the project, Leonora Yanko, art historian, art manager and director of Lera Litvinova Gallery, says: "We strive not only to introduce works by significant painters, but also to share certain
observations about the attempts of modern society to improve and progress. The project "Perfectionism" is an impetus for reflection and rethinking of modern priorities and regularities of the present." Lera Litvinova, the artist and ideologist of the project notes: "There is always a sense and an idea in every art, that gives the artist the opportunity to share his point of view, emotions and beliefs with
spectators. The artist encourages viewers to engage in reflections and search for the truth without words, only through own creativity. That is why it is so important for our art space to present projects that make people look at the concepts already established in another vein."
