The painting was performed in stages, as scaffolding and individual sections of the Church were prepared. The project was completed within the established deadlines.

A distinctive feature of this project is that part of the paintings in the Church had been completed earlier, including the dome and certain compositions. Our workshop was invited to complete the overall artistic design of the church and to bring all elements into a single stylistic solution.

Gold leaf was used during the work, which gives the paintings a special depth and radiance. The stages of gold application can be seen in the photographs. At the client's request, we regularly use this technique in our projects.

As a result, a cohesive church interior was completed with a harmonious combination of all painting elements, consistent with Orthodox tradition and the architecture of the space.

The paintings are executed in the Byzantine tradition, observing the canons of Orthodox art, with attention to composition, color harmony, and the spiritual content of the images.

Below are photos of murals and the process of working on the church.
