Elder Tikhon
"Elder Tikhon", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Bishop Maxim
"Elder Tikhon" retains a subtle hue and a discreet transition from a warm to a cold one. This portrait speaks with its attitude and raised shoulders, with bowed head and face, above the strong shoulders, of an ascetic who is a brave hero of Christian asceticism. He wears a monk’s hat and has a strong face, with a neat hair and beard, and is adorned by the unity of the individual elements. Head, face, chin and raised shoulders are adorned by the harmony of the drawing.
