GREETINGS FROM PARADISE Painting

I love colors, and through my creative work, I strive to bring light into darkness and illuminate the grey reality that surrounds us. Two years ago, I successfully completed an iconography course, and this year I have decided to apply this technique not only to the creation of icons but also to create my own paintings. My approach to creating is based on the use of entirely natural materials. I use the three-layered wood, and I prepare the painting surface myself (known as levkas). The natural pigments are mixed with yolk and vinegar. To fix the image, I use a light shellac varnish. Each painting has its own poem.
