i like it very much. ears. my family my parents very well, they accepted vitas here too. e, lithuanian, well, there is an uzbek and well, i don’t know the nationality. what what what does it matter has a completely different meaning, and the view from the director by profession is well -read, re-read all russian literature, and my mother is a teacher of russian language and literature oni every evening after the rehearsal. my mother was waiting for him to discuss the performance. and yet. you see, that is, they had common interests; in general, we kind of got into our family. we have also a creative family. yes we uh, father is a famous songwriter. e adam gerasimovich. rusak, the author of the song is known, who probably know throughout the former soviet union and

the republics, the song that became the hallmark of belarus, they call it that it happens and healthy live richly, therefore, m-m , another creative person appeared in our creative family. somewhere he worked for 10 years in the russian theater, he had his own theater, an alternative theater, the presence of hmm, a high level of internal culture, is very felt. for me. the most important thing is that there will be creativity in belarus, because i did a lot. i left dramatic performances. this and left puppet shows too and worked by students. uh, and his theater hmm created. right now there are absolutely different possibilities. so i can realize myself, as it were, in all these areas. that is, no one has any obstacles for me, absolutely this is how it turned out for him in life, because maybe on the other side. i myself tried not to create any obstacles for anyone, but in

eventually it worked out. so, this is the scope for creativity for imagination and the ability to implement all this. well, it's worth it, right?

when you're all at work, wherever you go you think? how about what to do next? when especially, if there is a lot of time, that is, from morning to evening, some kind of intense work, if you devote a little time, then maybe some other things distract you, but the first is simple, setting up. you can think about anything. yes, but the setting is a prayer. already

prayed somewhere the temple came to the icons kissed. and in general, as it is written, it is customary to pray before work to the well-known icon painters as a savior not to a man-made image. here is some. maybe if i write. the icon of the holy means more prayers from the saint. this is a very short prayer rule before starting work. well, that's all, there is a very good tuning, tuning. you have already tuned in to work on the letter and start in the register of the profession, in principle, there is no icon painter, there is an artist. there is a craftsman. yes , the state. yes, but i signed up anyway. icon-painting, but i say, write through the dash artist and konofitsets. i have a brother. uh, my cousin said he works in a bank in the banking system. oh, he tells me he confessed that i could not imagine that my sister could work in the temple. well, for

him it was something beyond the norm, something very unusual. and now everyone already considers it natural and normal, like such a profession, it’s like on a par with all other professions. how many, for example, even in belarus icon painters, their own you can count it on your fingers. this is a very small number per number of inhabitants. and minsk is clear that there is more here as a capital. and if you take, uh, other cities, in general, here is christianity, this is a way of life , they told me that there is such an unspoken rule that an icon painter has no right to paint anything else. that is, he has no right to paint portraits, but professionally engage in painting there. ah, but i probably agree with that, well, on vacation, when i'm on vacation and somewhere on

vacation. i can take uh, oil paints pee nature, pee something for yourself. well, i don't go deep into it. we don't have a set time, because i came to work by that time, finished it, it's like i have freedom in it. choice of course, daylight. i'm better. than artificially artificial, if i work with flowers, artificial color. it distorts a little. you can look at the work in the morning and realize that you made a little mistake on the shade of some kind, it will be imperceptible to others, but i see that this is not the shade that i needed and i i can finish at nine pm and 6:00 pm , and when i'm inspired, well, there's already no need to look at such a specific time , it happens that, but there is one when the coating is on. 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? in what would you like a workshop alone? well, even if you are in the company, but it is to sit, hard work. you must sit still. but you must carefully do this, that is, not all character is enough for such an activity, of course, with different everyday affairs. they absorb a person and need a little bit of themselves periodically. still, to pull out a little bit to rise in material life in any person. it is necessary to look at life differently on the other hand, from a different angle.

two icons each of the intercession and the most holy trinity is the icon from which the iconostasis began. we came here in 2005. first time in minsk i was still learning how to build earrings, i didn’t finish at all. and here, uh, i was offered, uh, to paint the icon of the intercession. i agreed . time passed. and i thought that, probably, other people would already be working on this iconostasis then vladyka filaret was in charge. ah, the belarusian church, 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 the life of st. sergius on the other hand, when stas is the life of st. seraphim. we've been working long enough we wrote together, somewhere it took us 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. the first row is usually a free row. this. well, as the rector deigns, there will be such plots, but there should always be a savior of the mother of god, and to the right of the savior there is always an icon in honor of e. whom the temple is called, this is the church of the intercession, and therefore the protection of the mother of god, e, is present in this connorstas. this wing was alexandra and this wing is the looming part, that

there is seraphim of sarov, this is the royal family, this is the angel leading john the baptist to the desert for the second row, he is huge and there is an icon of two meters somewhere around 20 cm. it is necessary to put special ladders there, and so as my partner. she is short. she said they weren't my icons. i’m not very handy to write such big ones, and she left it to me all this row that you see, except for one icon, this is for us sergey laurel was written. ah. all the rest of the icons are my work. but the third row is the holidays. here are the holidays. this is already on alexander wrote. 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 and tranquility and a feeling of such a presence of god of some kind. well , they are traditional, they are traditional, such icons of them, uh, can you meet andrei rublev? uh, here are other russian economists, that is, we relied on traditions and people from this whole work. himself comes to some more whole state more hmm

collected. here, perhaps such criteria grandmother was a believer with us. she constantly came to the city. she lived in a village in the villages there was not a single temple and sometimes 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 prayer of our father there. but i didn’t know anything else and my grandfather died and i had to order a funeral service there, and somehow we 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 and something from the old testament and i read it, and

somehow it really fit me. this some wisdom, 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 an artist, this is 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. someone 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 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 people were surprised that, well, i'm an adult, but i say, i don't know anything, so i need to find out something. e, something to read for you to recommend, and i began not to go here when i studied at the university, then, it seemed, they even offered me to stay in the workshop to write to draw my thesis. i had such a screen for baptism. she was painting on fabric. and that is, stretched the frame, they cut it for me in the workshop, just there very talented things the carver was in vitebsk , he cut out the frame for her, and i painted two sidewalls for me. these were some ornaments from the center - it was a 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. this there was something unimaginable. we had a priest present at the defense of diplomas. i really wanted to after university. you can still learn more from the academy, you can finish art either in st. petersburg or in minsk that is, somehow continue your studies as a painter, one priest says, why is a painter better than an icon painter - this is somehow now developing very much 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 the fourth time, but i entered why, because i left teaching, that is, after

the university. i also taught for 4 years. i left teaching and went to sergiev posad to a 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. it's an unusual joy then education, which was the previous artistic, but it helped me a lot, that is , work with paints. and these relationships are color and pattern. it all came in handy, then it was completely easy 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 do everything for him to paint. well, we take an egg, we need to separate the yolk from the protein. i keep losing everything white wine is added according to the article, an italian tradition, but in russia they used kvass, sour kvass, somewhere. i add one by one and i even add a few drops of lavender. some people like it, others don't , but i like it as an antiseptic, that is, this mission does not deteriorate. now we will grind 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 at an egg pace, these are emulsions 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 usually collect with a palette knife, but i saw how you can immediately collect a large amount of paint with a spatula very quickly , quite a lot of layers need to be 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 seems to have a little from the board of such an invoice. here 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 your energy into the prayer of an icon, and it fills up with this, and very often i have people. 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

volumes, the texture works, there are some artistic laws begin to work work. you sit quietly there, drawing, uh, writing, and the atmosphere is created anyway solitude. it is somewhere very close to the monastery. 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. are you thinking about this icon, are you already thinking about this kitchen when you get up? we are not painting a portrait. and we are creating a certain image. hmm, i think about the first image, therefore. icon painters of life the icon painter greatly influences 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’s blocky, the simplest, it was temporary, and we thought that we would have the intercession church and this one, probably, would have to be cleaned, but it’s so good to be in it, to pray, such intimate very services, that, in principle, the hand didn’t rise to disassemble it, on the contrary , they repaired it, but we had a plywood iconostasis. and when i say that we are canceling the iconostasis , how can i? as we call it, it was already there the iconostasis. so accustomed to plywood reproductions. there were people who bought icons. for the temple, well, just like a gift there were two athonite icons. this is the mother of god of the savior and we decided that, probably, we will put it here in the iconostasis. here, and the rest must already be added, it will be on athos in greece, they wanted to completely order a castasis, and i

wrote the savior in advance, also in this style, and a commission came to sleep the bumps there, well, there were also secular people. it’s just that they decided to order someone else, or i’ll still write. well, we decided that, probably, i can handle. 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 to keep this style lika, e.g. 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 the human factor, it still affects even this. and although they say that here it is necessary from distract yourself and generally write according to the

canons in general in icon painting. there is no such concept as a canon, there is a concept of tradition traditionally written this way. so we noticed that even icon painters, when they paint their saints. they are similar to them portrait data is 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. i 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 revered some saints eventually developed such a system 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 served and hmm. there can be saints, here or evangelists. here, but it 's like another impossible. here there are several options. here there is chosen and usually on the one hand on the left hand of the mother of god on the right the savior. this is already constant, since

we have a temple, uh, built here too. there was a phenomenon on therefore, the sources of the icon of the mother of god took such two thematic compositions, one is the appearance of the mother of god, which, as if with a rod, points to the source, breaks through the source. against the background, uh, 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’m going to depict them later, and the top of the second row is uh before jesus the row is called the entrance of 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 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 and he is an inner mood.

how calm are you there, balanced, or do you have a lot of problems. you are distracted by thoughts. here i am when work is not not, i can not listen to anything, not look. listen, yes. 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. e to live in a secular life does not adhere to church traditions at all, but it will not work. so it will not be taikona, which is needed for prayer. and it is an icon designed primarily for communication with god, as if you were looking at it, your sense of reality changes. that is, it helps, as it were, communion with prayer. here

is such a function. hmm, this is how i always talk about our florence, such was such a theologian, he always compared a cone with a window. 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 in my place, absolutely in my place, this is some kind of god's mercy 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

me as a 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, but such a homely one. here is a fellowship of helping each other. i really love these grains. 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.

i'm downs. throated aside after aside with a word creativity is the most wondrous and worthy of respect , this book in books live thoughts past reports expressly improve the voice of people. everything

that the man of the trunk hawked on the sides of them to be a dream of pandering.
