The life of the outstanding sculptor Sergei Timofeevich Konenkov, spanning the 19th and 20th centuries, is full of contrasts and twists, largely due to both his character and the essence of the times in which he lived. Yet, at the same time, his life's journey is coherent, deeply meaningful, rich in events and creative achievements, and those images of an inextinguishable spirit preserved for us in his sculptures, graphic works, journalism, and memoirs.

Coming from a peasant family, he achieved the heights of recognition in Russian and international art. The 20th century truly became his century, rich in diverse stylistic trends and creative experiments, to which the sculptor responded sensitively. He was undoubtedly a spiritual champion, as is every artist of such high professional caliber and profound creative philosophy. But Konenkov became a doubly spiritual ascetic – thanks to his boundless devotion to art and his unwavering faith in the creativity of labor, Christian truths, the people and their centuries-old history, and in Russia.
