Once, traveling in Europe, I went into a cathedral, I don't even remember what country it was and saw the image of the saint, she was standing on top and I froze - I saw myself, I was so shocked that I had such an association at all, so I took a photo and then when I returned home I I showed her to everyone, I remember that her head was covered with a blue cloth, I remember only a face, I saw myself at the age of 12. Everyone to whom I showed the photo was told that yes, we are very similar, and some said that I need to paint icons. Years passed and I forgot this story, but one day people started saying that I should paint icons. I was shocked and remembered that cathedral. To be honest, I painted a self-portrait, but I was told that the work looks like the face of a saint. I don't consider myself a saint, special, yes, definitely not a saint, I smile. I have already chosen which icons I plan to paint. Let's assume that this was the first step.
The work is very popular and is liked by many.
