My name is Petya. I am artist (painter). I like to ride bicycle, walking, conversation with new people.
I live in Moscow with my wife Nadya and little daughter Vera (she was born in January 2015).

I paint orthodox christian icons, and also pictures - pastel still lifes, portraits and landscapes. My works you can see on http://petr-icons.ru/picture.html (it is in russian language, but there are mostly pictures) and facebook.com/petricons.ru

I decide to go to Finland :-)

Teach, Learn, Share
