Background: Yury Stupitsa is an Icon painter registered with the UNESCO international artist federation.

Yury’s studio was bright with a view over the city that included Cathedrals where his work is installed in. He loves to collect items that brings history into his studio for companionship. You can view  photographs in the below slideshow which was taken in this ‘sacred’ space.
