This picture was inspired by my childhood’s friend. We have been interested in mysticism, in the life of the monks on Mount Athos in Greece and in Buddhist monasteries. I wanted to emphasize the sincerity of a person’s feelings during his heartfelt prayer to the Creator, the exaltation of his feelings. I wanted to turn the viewer’s eyes inside himself or herself in search of his most sincere and deepest meaning I believe that such a look inside will help to save our world from numerous military and crises, turning inward, where everyone is connected to the Creator in the depths of our soul where a person finds peace, peace and salvation from crises.
