it's in the banking system oh, i said he confessed that i could not imagine that my sister could work in the temple, but for him it was something beyond the norm, something very unusual. and now everyone already considers it natural and normal, as if such a profession is, uh, as if on a par with all other professions. how many, for example, even in belarus there are icon painters, you can count this number on the fingers. this is a very small number for the number of inhabitants. eh, minsk is clear that there is more like a capital here. and if take uh, other cities, in general, here is christianity, this is a way of life, they told me that there are such unspoken rules that an icon painter does not have the right to write anything else. that is, he has no right to paint portraits, but professionally engage in

painting there. ah, but i probably agree with this, but on vacation, when i'm on vacation and somewhere on vacation. i can take, uh, oil paints to paint nature, to paint something like that for myself, but i don’t delve into it deeply. we do not have a specific time, because i came to work by this time and finished at it, it's like i have freedom in it. choice of course, daylight in me is better than artificial artificial, if i work with colors, artificial color. it distorts a little. you can look at the work in the morning and realize that you slightly mistaken everything for a shade of some kind, it will be imperceptible to others, but i see that this is not the shade that i needed and i can finish at nine in the evening 6 :00 pm. and when i'm inspired. well, you

have to look there, there is no such a certain time that, but there is such a time when the coating goes. e icons are coated, there are many hours of coating, drying oil, and then. sometimes at night you have to stay to look at how it is. e, how absorbs a stalif. that is, we do not have varnishes, we have exactly natural drying oil, how about how to use the ancient icon painters is it heavy in heaviness? what do you want in the workshop alone? well, even if you're in the company, but it's sitting, painstaking work. you must sit still. but you must carefully do this, that is, not all character is enough for such activities, various everyday affairs. they absorb a person and need a little of themselves periodically. all the same, to pull out a little to rise in the material life of any

person. it is necessary to look differently at the life of the other side from a different angle. two icons of the intercession of the most holy trinity are the icon from which the iconostasis began. we came here in 2005 for the first time in minsk. i was still studying, taught sergei lavra how to build, i haven’t finished yet. and so, uh, i was offered to paint an icon of the intercession, but time did not agree. and i thought that, probably, other people would already be working on

vladyka filaret then headed the belarusian church with this iconostasis, and he said who started it. let's continue the first row of thought. so it will be on one side of the iconostasis. it will be reverend. earrings with life on the other side of the canastas is the life of st. seraphim. we worked for quite a long time since we wrote together , then it took us somewhere 10 years quietly with interruptions. maybe some kind of tradition, that's how the russian iconostasis developed, so we started writing from the first row. first row - this is usually a free row - how is it? here, the rector deigns, there will be such plots, but there must always be a savior from the right of the mother of god. here the savior always comes in honor of the icon. eh, who? eh? the temple is named, this is the

church of the intercession, and therefore the protection of the mother of god , e, is present in this staf. this wing was alexandra's and this wing is the looming part. that is, this is seraphim of sarov, this is the royal family - this is the angel leading john the baptist into the desert for the second row, he is huge and there is an icon of two meters somewhere 20 cm. that is not every temple has such huge icons , they are really big, so you can’t write, you need to put special ladders there and the way my partner does. she is small in stature. she said, it’s not my horses that are so big, i’m not very handy to write to me, and she left it to me all this row that you see, except for one icon , sergey lavre wrote it for us for three shootings, and the rest of all the icons are mine my job. and

here is the third row. uh, it's the holidays. here are the holidays. this is already on alexander wrote. i when i look at the icons, i no longer have the feeling that you are written by me. i can watch, as spectators and as a person just praying on the icon. it’s interesting not even not people who are not professionals, but simply, but parishioners who say that the stasah sets them up for a state of prayer, that they were in different churches and saw different icons, and uh, we are told that they like these images. they are the ones that cause some kind of peace of mind and a feeling of such a presence of some kind of god. well , traditional, they are traditional, here they are icons, uh, and andrei rublev can be found? uh, here are other russian economists, that is,

we relied on traditions and people from this whole work. himself comes to some more solid state more hmm collected. here, perhaps such criteria grandmother was a believer with us. she constantly came to the city, she lived in the village, in the villages there was not a single temple, and sometimes she came to the city. especially if these are big holidays and i always went to the temple, but we didn’t go, we didn’t go, maybe from childhood. i knew the lord's prayer there. here but i didn’t know anything else and my grandfather died, and i had to order a funeral service there, and we somehow quietly began to walk. and here are some holidays, uh, i was

interested, in fact, and then they began to print in magazines. proverbs of solomon , something from the old testament, and i read it, and it somehow really touched my soul. here is some wisdom. eh, some depth of this text. i really liked it, and therefore this is the church. she attracted me with some other beauty, and worship with aesthetics, probably, uh, as for an artist, this important. this is the space of a m-th temple, uh, and the murals and decorations of the icon are all very, probably, so it fell on my soul. and when i entered the first course. i decided that i would definitely find out everything and read everything. what is this orthodox faith? and what is its

essence, and to study, as it were, the basics, and i went to sunday school with the children, when i came to sign up , they told me, who are you signing up for? i say it. i want to study myself. and, well, as if the surprise was people that, well, i'm a grown man, but i say i i don't know anything, so i need to know something. e, something to read for you to recommend, and i began to walk with the children when i was at the university, then, it seems, they even offered me a workshop to stay to write to draw a thesis, i had such a screen for baptism. she was painting on fabric. and that is, the frame was stretched, they cut me in the workshop, just there very talented things the carver was in vitebsk , he did not cut the frame, and i painted two sidewalls for me. these were some ornaments from center - it was baptism. well, it's how it was

meant to be. uh, like a screen that covers a little. here is the font, protecting it like this . it was the ninety-sixth year. many of us in the group already went to the temple, and we had several works specifically intended for the temple. and even the guys painted an icon. that is, this time. it was something out of the ordinary. we had a priest present at the defense of diplomas. i really wanted to after university. more to learn more the academy can be an art graduate either in st. petersburg or in minsk that is, to somehow continue his studies as a painter, one priest says why a painter is better than an icon painter - this is somehow developing very much now and the st. sergius lavra will be in demand. the best schools. now i have started collecting documents. i found out what documents are needed. i have

already started doing some icon-painting works. i entered for the fourth time, but i entered why, because i left sh-teaching. that is after university. i also taught for 4 years. i left teaching and went to sergiev landing in the workshop. so, when i was in the workshop, i worked, i also went to additional courses at the tikhonov institute. i already understood what kind of work is needed for admission. i started to actively develop them, and in belarus it would be for me. i realized that it would be very difficult for me when you already understand that you have entered. this is an unusual joy, that education, which was the previous artistic, but it helped me a lot, that is , working with paints. and these relationships are color and pattern. it's all useful then it was not at all difficult for me,

for example, the course is gaining from the guys. the girls have their own teacher. eh, teacher. everything, of course, with some small, uh, works, it all began gradually, not that we immediately began to paint icons there, we will make an emulsion for paints. take an egg and separate the yolk from the white. i so separate further white wine is added. this, by the way, is an italian tradition, but in russia they used kvass, sour kvass, somewhere. i add one to one and i even have a few drops i add lavender. some people love it, others don't. but i like it as an antiseptic. that is, this emulsion does not deteriorate. now we’ll rub some paint lapis lazuli is

afghan there is baikal if oil paint is a pigment with oil, for example, watercolor is a homeo arabica pigment, that is, soluble glue, then in egg themes these are emulsins with pigment. in order for them to have such a hitch, you can rub it not on glass, but on a stone. well, marble can be rubbed, so i take a spatula. i collect, i usually collect with a palette knife, but i saw how you can collect

a large amount of paint at once with a spatula very quickly , quite a lot of layers. we must put. this is vadim. like a layer there, like gouache. for example, it seems to look like gouache, but still it is a slightly different paint and very transparent layers are obtained, well, due to this, and then the paint is gaining volume. it is, as it were, a little bit from a board of such texture. pskov icon painting is characterized by the fact that there are a lot of emulsions and it seems that the paints on the glass are such a huge amount of paints. when you write, uh, you put i pray an icon with my energy, and it is filled with this, and very often people do it for me. they say that this is how the image attracts, that is, reproductions of such things, it will not. it's so

emotional to have such a response. this is a living feeling of an icon of living colors. the more interesting they are. when you put them on the board, in volume, the texture works, there are some artistic laws that work. you sit quietly there, drawing, uh, writing, and the atmosphere is created anyway solitude. it is somewhere very close to the monastery is approaching. it is necessary to think silently, uh, and not everyone can withstand even then you begin to live with this icon. you go to bed. you are thinking about this icon, you are already thinking about this icon, but we are not painting a portrait about this one. and we are creating a certain image. hmm, i think about the prototype therefore. the icon painters of the life of the icon painter greatly influence the image that we will create. the temple was built in

the early nineties and everyone says that it is a wooden temple. no, it is blocky, the simplest was temporary, and we thought that we would have the intercession church and this one, probably, would be necessary to clean it, but it’s so good to be in it, to pray, such intimate very services, that, in principle, the hand has not risen to disassemble it, on the contrary, it has been repaired. oh, and our iconostasis was plywood. and when i say that we are abolishing the iconostasis , how is it that i’m nastas? it's the same there was already an iconostasis. so accustomed already to plywood reproductions. there were people, uh, who bought the icons. for the temple, well, just like a gift there were two icons of athos, this is the mother of god of the savior, and we decided that, probably, we will put you a conastasis here.

here, and the rest must already be added on athos in greece, they wanted to order anastas completely, and i wrote the savior in advance in this style, too, and a commission came from dresses there, well, there were also secular people. it’s just that they decided to order someone else, or i’ll still write. well, i figured i could probably do it. i think this is a big task in general. here i had a task, as it is written and the artist is, well, not to break out of the limits of this style. that is, greek monks wrote greek icons. and it was necessary that leakey uh, keep that style. that's why i had to look at more photos and, uh, and review my file cabinet to make some little

sketches to compare. eh, so that everything fits with a human fact. it still affects even this, although they say that here we must be distracted from ourselves. and in general , to write according to the canons in general in icon painting. there is no such concept. cannes is. the concept of tradition is traditionally written this way. so we noticed that even icon painters, when they paint their saints. they look like them portrait data is being read for some reason. i once wrote baptism, there are angels standing by the lord john the baptist. just now the feast of epiphany all the angels say, all tanya all look like me. although she does not specifically stream for this, because he understands you are your own hands. you see many faces there, you see, and since this is not a copied work. and you, as it were , write from your inner state, therefore, yes, you

repeat yourself somewhere and the growth is the same height, those who are small, they will write a reduced figure , i always write high. here's to me like high. well, because it says check and juices, and the program of the iconostasis itself. this is our pastor. there are even rules for the icon painter. and such that even the rector deign, that is, the first row of the iconostasis has always been taken, here. what the rector wants, or some parish of the temple or some saints revered, uh, over time, such a system has been developed that there are royal gates. on which of them can the annunciation be depicted as an entrance to salvation? this is the first holiday coming, uh, there might be. uh, the way the liturgy is celebrated and hmm there might portrayed as saints, or evangelists. here, well, it's like another impossible. here

there are several options. here it is chosen and usually on the one hand, on the left hand of the mother of god , on the right, the savior, this is constant , as we have a temple, uh, built here too . , which, as it were, points to the source with a rod, breaks through the source. against the background, wow, the second composition is the appearance of the archangel michael here is a miracle, where the source also leaked, and well, these are such large compositions, and i’ll draw them later , and the top of the second row - this is our e before the jesus row is called the entrance to the kingdom of heaven. so let's say standing by the savior, when you write an image anyway, but such a prayerful one. uh tuned, the shower should be on the image, because uh, after all, both the expression

and hmm the image itself. he will be so, it turns out some kind of mood and he is inside. no, how calm you are there, balanced or you have a lot of problems. you are distracted by thoughts. here when i'm at work, i can't listen or watch anything. here, listen to it. here, i need complete silence, then complete concentration comes. at work on the image that's yes, of course, as far as the most iconographer is his inner world. anyway, he goes to work, because it is impossible for an icon painter. that's how to be an unbelieving person. uh, live a secular life, not adhere to church traditions at all, but it will not work. so it will not be taikona, which is needed for prayer. she is an icon intended primarily for communication with god, as if you look at it, your

sense of reality changes. that is, it helps, as it were, prayerful fellowship. here is such a hmm function, here i was talking all the time about our florence, such was such a theologian, he always compared the cone with the window, the window gives light to the icon, as if also a window to another world. here is another sense of reality. we call the place kruptsy the holy intercession church when i worked here. i realized that this is the place where i want to stay and work. that is, i say, i am absolutely in my place in its place it is some kind of both the mercy of god and such a craft. no matter how difficult the feeling that you are in your place, but it does not leave. we have a pastor. he

treats us like professionals and consults with us based on the conscience of each person and on professionalism. so here's my boss. it's just extraordinary. and it's not just a house. this is family. this is thanks, of course, to the rector, who makes it possible to form such a family atmosphere. eh, homemade. here is a fellowship of helping each other. i really love these grits. this is the church of the intercession, our complex. the same holidays are also epiphany, these extraordinary services. eh, this is the effect of the icon and the hymn and the divine service itself. this is all beauty. it certainly inspires a person. here it gives some such. here, then i'm off the energy for life. that's why yes, this place is

extraordinary. walk around belarusian cities and learn their history. you know that at one time the place was the child of the city. once the great vitov laid eyes on it and built a wooden castle here, which stood on this place for more than 200 years to plunge into the past and see how legendary personalities lived. this is how the study of the people's writer looked like, eyes immediately rush. this is a typewriter. that's just on it he

shamyakin. never typed. his wife took care of it. and also experience vivid emotions. from something new come on, mommy mommy. nothing to do with it, they dress up. you can catch it while watching the project of belarus dele, the production process is very complicated, heavy. it all depends on the person, even on his attitude to his work, but our people. i consider everyone in their place, watch on our tv channel. the silver age of russian culture is the result of famous masters of the fine arts of the early 20th

century, creative searches and the original beauty of the russian soul . belarus presented a new exhibition project by arkhipov and masters of the union of russian artists. watch the fashion for culture project on our tv channel. she worked, she was well paid, but unloved job until retirement remained for several years. she decides to quit and do a business that has a soul, but about which she really does not know anything.

for 52 years from scratch, she has been studying the technology of creating sumac, mastering complex japanese techniques, and at some point they understand that nothing is impossible, everything is done manually and accordingly. here is the result, even the blood does not flow. let's just say when piercing. that is, they have already coarsened in less than six months. after being fired, she is invited to participate in a fashion show already as a bag designer. i do not understand. where does it come from? i can't even put my idea down on paper. they just fly off from somewhere above me. natalya nos is a woman who proves by her own example life can be radically changed at any age, for this you just need to listen to yourself and not listen to the stereotypical

opinion that the main thing is to reach retirement. natalia nos knows for sure if you find a business that brings joy you will be found by both money and success. like any woman, natalia loves to go shopping, but unlike many ladies, for a long time lingers in only one department. where they sell bags. here i am just stroking them. and here it is, such tactile sensations. they help me a lot here. it's like

meditation for me touch. akin to a sip of an invigorating drink, i recharged with energy and move on to creating my own author's works, which are absolutely not similar to smarket. natalya herself does not know how it works. i am not a professional designer. it's not clear to me. where does it come from. i can't even put my idea down on paper. i just have them happens from somewhere. it’s not the case that i looked like i was full, and then in the middle of the night i jump up and start folding pieces of fabric so that i don’t forget the next day that what idea came to fold pieces of fabric natalia started about a year ago a technique known as patchwork creating a single piece of patchwork the craftswoman was attracted

by the fact that she could make something out of nothing from small remnants of fabric that are simply thrown away, you can create warm, cozy things that are nice to pick up. i am for conscious application due to the fact that we need to protect nature, and we also should not throw it away , you can also make very beautiful things from it, napkins, kitchen tacks, cases for glasses. the first works were small, but no less difficult because of this, natalya, as a true perfectionist, bought a special tool. for hours i picked up each flap for each other and diligently verified each stitch, we could not even think that in a short time a homemade female hobby would become the beginning of something much larger dress. but designer linen is like that, it's not standard and could not have been made from ready-made blanks. here.
