Simon Ushakov
Icon Visionary Simon Ushakov has introduced a new form of religious painting with a focus on secular figures and a combination of traditional iconographic elements with some Western influences. The rich color palette used is in stark contrast with existing works and is likely to rub a few feathers with the Clergy. However, the influx of new tastes and baroque influences would benefit the artistic community as a whole and contribute towards the spread of new ideas.
