Yana Kononova is an artist with an academic background in philosophy (PhD). She was born in the Caspian Sea on the Pirallakhi island, which is the place of oil extracted, where in ancient times Zoroastrians worshipped a fire. During Russian Imperial times the island's name was ‘The Saint’. During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, her family emigrated to Ukraine. After relocating to live in the countryside in the Trachtemiriv peninsula, which also has a strong geological and cultural history, she turned to photography. Yana graduated from the Photoschool of Viktor Marushchenko and then studied the photography course during the long term programme from Image Threads Collective (USA). She won the Bird in Flight Prize in Emerging photographer nomination in 2019. Her works have been exhibited in Ukraine and abroad.
