"The Chestnut" Painting

An important aspect of my works is the modern reflection of sacred art for the spiritual enrichment of a person, a new reflection of the religious essence, research into the principle of interpreting an icon or a work of religious art without losing its sacred meaning. ​ Icon can and should develop, change, embody the best aesthetic achievements of its time, then it becomes closer to the perception of a modern person, interests it. At the same time, as a sacred work, it should preserve spirituality in each new appearance. ​ Searching for the new means of expression in the process of work, I use both modern and ancient technologies to create interesting colour effects and textures, in particular chalk gesso and natural pigments, which perfectly approach for the experiments and researches.
