Critics qualify Gala Moskvitina’s Art of the Heart as Laternative Realism (derived from Latin
words “light” and “nature”). Laternative Realism belongs to Objective Art, defined by a famous
philosopher George Gurdjieff in the last century. Objective Art works with the highest, universal
tasks that have ever been tackled by humanity. It deals with consciousness, soul, spirit and heart.
It is concerned with peace, eternity, immortality, happiness and love.
Gala invented Laternative Realism, she is the only artist in the world who works in this style and
there is good reason behind it. She won public acclaim as a graphic artist and book illustrator
early in life. Nearly 70 books were published with her illustrations including the complete works of
W. Shakespeare and other titles of world classics. But one day she left her glittering career,
family and city life and went to the East for 15 long years. There, in distant monasteries of China
and ashrams of India, Gala inquired into spiritual meaning of life, her real higher awareness and
true power.
Recently she reappeared at the art scene in a different capacity. Now she lavishly shares with the
viewers her spiritual findings and discoveries through her artistic works called Lightanghs (the
word is derived from «light» and «anchor»). These paintings are peculiar anchors of the soul’s
light on Earth. Moskvitina’s Laternative Realism is dedicated to the inquest of such concepts as
Light, Luminance and Luminescence.
Spiritual transformation attained by Gala in the monasteries of the East revealed to her, that the
light that people see is only a reflection of the true spiritual Light, of which the whole Universe
and all of us are made. And the best thing that can ever happen to a living being is a union with
the real life-giving source, the infinite light of awareness.
Moskvitina’s paintings have been sold at the biggest auctions of the world, such as Bonhams and
MacDougalls. Many are now in private collections, sometimes as meditative pieces. Her art
inspires people to uplift their own soul and spirit. In the presence of Gala’s Lightanghs a viewer
can experience his own light, feel the voice of his own consciousness, understand the power of
his own heart. Very few persons in the world have spiritual experiences similar to Gala’s, and
even fewer of them agree to openly speak about it.
Gala’s Laternative Realism is a gift to those who want to develop their potential abilities, contact
their true power, and find real love and fullness of being. Her work is not just a harmony of colors
created by an artist’s masterful hand, but a message of Light, a true Art of the Heart.
