PROJECTS: CROSS | ICON | ICON-CROSS
Project “CROSS”
This project brought me opportunities to share my thoughts, express my ideas and show art works to other people. By discovering reach background of other cultures – I realized – it’s no limit to grow up, explore and discover beauty of human being and inspiration.
Why? Because it’s part of my life, my interaction with surrounded world. If you can express yourself to the gifted talents – you can find happiness, peace and inspiration to leave your life.
I was always was very interesting in ancient art, especially traditional wooden cross and icon on the gloss. Tradition for iconography and wood curving itself from beginning, was based on prayers, fasting and community that was usual way for spiritual expressions in art.
Traditional Wooden Cross and Icon on Glass.
Icon on the glass reflecting interesting way to combine folk art in spiritual vision and show unrepeatable reflection of personality.
