Author's painting on a religious theme.

  Elena Letina's icons are first and foremost a reflection of her own spirituality, her vision of the world. Without being overly emotional, they are filled with the energy of the soul's movement.

  The works not only depict Christian saints but also have a deep sacred meaning. Looking at the faces of the saints created by Elena, you realize that almost any master can create a good copy, but a real artist tries to reflect the spiritual content of the image. The faces of the saints created by Elena are an awakening and comforting energy, rising above the empty worldly bustle. They provide an opportunity to reflect on the eternal and come to God.

  Agree, not everyone can come to the temple, because a conversation with God is a deeply personal experience. Not all emotions and experiences can be displayed, even following fashion.

  Icons in the house are another matter. Wise, loving, understanding ... They will support and will not let you despair. And it does not matter whether you know the text of the prayer, because strict adherence to canons and traditions deprives the faith of the most important thing - sincerity.

  According to Archimandrite Zinon: "an icon is an embodied prayer." May God be in your soul. After all, it is from the soul, not from the mind, that prayer comes. Then the temple will be in your soul and God in your heart, and the holy image will accompany you through life.
