International Icon Painting competition in theme "Resurrection of Jesus Christ"
In 2018 I took part in the International Icon Painting
competition on theme "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ" of the
Interparliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy (I.A.0.), Athens, Greece.
222 artists - icon painters from 19 countries applied for
the contest. The judges chose 63 icon painters from 16 countries, including me,
for the final.In the summer 2018 the
contest ended.
The relative Exhibition of all 63 finalists icon presented at the
Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens; in 2019 in Cyprus and after in
Georgia.
At the end of competition, as representative of Latvia, one
of the 63 icon painters - finalists from 16 countries, I have received the
Invitation in the Icon Painting Symposium of the Interparliamentary Assembly
of Orthodoxy in Cooperation with the Orthodoxy Academy of Crete (OAC) in April
2019.
During the Symposium, 14 selected artists, including me, participated in open master-classes and painted an icon, presented its own country.
