In crafting this piece, I sought to capture the serene beauty of St. Michael's Monastery enveloped by nature. With oil paints, I balanced fine art precision with the emotive sweep of expressionism and the mutable light of impressionism. The strokes carry an earnest energy, inviting contemplation and peace. Adorning a wall, it will infuse the space with the tranquility of a sun-dappled, timeless sanctuary, where the secular dances with the divine.
