About Alla Melnichenko

I am Belarusian artist. Art for me – sense of life and the the highest joy that is available in the terrestrial incarnation. I also love my Belarus. Its nature and people for me – the source of inspiration!

    wow..superb painting ..a wonderful icon to view and contemplate over.

  • Catherine, thank you so much for your great comments on my artwork! This is one of my favorite icons which I keep at home. I consider it to be a success because in no other icon I managed to paint a face of a saint in such a way. I do appreciate your kind attitude and wish you more inspirations to paint your superb pieces. Warmest wishes, Alla

    I have to agree, what a beautiful and alive painting! I have kept my most popular painting of Jesus with me because I can’t stand to part with it…so I can completely understand. Sometimes, we are no longer in control of what we paint and our work takes an usual and miraculous turn such as this beautiful work of yours…..outstanding

  • Thank you Tahnja! I believe that the force moving my hand is from above. When I paint I never know what the outcome will be and every time I look at my finished work I feel surprised.

    Utterly beautiful Alla.

  • Thank you very much for great appreciation of my artwork, perhaps I don’t live up to your praise because I realize how much room is there for perfection to which I strive.
