This is a Byzantine style painting I commissioned by world-reknowned Religious artist Fedor. It is the Epiphany. I met Fedor at the Touch of Europe one night. He was in Sioux Falls painting Icon Panels for St. Joseph Cathedral’s Chapel remodel. Fedor is amazing. Fedor does most of his work in Caustic (wax-dye paint) which is very time consuming. He told me his favorite artist is Warhol – Go figure! He is from Moscow. I have lost track of him over recent years and his website is not working – we fear he is in prison in Russia. I did learn one thing, never take a byzantine artist to a strip club!!!
