The church in the begining of the art works, december 1996. |

  The artist used the beeswax technic of painting, gilding with gold leaves and
phosphorescent pigments. He created a painting that can be observed by day and also by
night, even without the lights clearing the interior of the church. We can see upon the
plexus of the Pantocrator Christ, The Holy Face of the Saint Suaire, self iluminated by
the power of the phosphorescent pigments. |

  In
this mural, we can see also the four
evangelists represented by the winged man, winged bull, winged lion and by the eagle. |
