Once I met this man with deep look of dark eyes and he became my inspiration. Sometimes this image resembles me ancient frescoes, Fayum portraits, as well as frescoes in temples depicting Jesus Christ. A young man looks with a kind and merciful eyes at our world. On his face are visible traces of life's trials, but he has not lost his inner kindness to his neighbors. The picture is designed to evoke sublime feelings and aristocratic admiration for the beauty of Man in our complicated world.
