Tomorrow CSR VINZAVOD completed photographic exhibition of Mikhail Rozanov, "ministry", dedicated to the last year of Christ on earth: from the Baptism in the Jordan River, to the Ascension on the Mount of Olives. In 2009, Michael several times visited the Holy Land, step by step, removing places where unfolded wonderful, joyous and tragic events described in the Gospel.

Creative Rozanov, regardless of whether it takes architectural masterpieces or the sky on a sunny day, still life or industrial giants, distinguished by a sense of harmony and form. It is the inner balance of each work allows critics to call Rozanova "neoclassicists" in modern art.
Cycle "ministry" - a new stage for Mikhail Rozanov. Repeatedly retouched landscapes of tourist brochures Rozanov again brought the kingdom of eternity. Such work requires the artist's singular focus and mental state.
Gustav Meyrink in the "Angel of the West Window" is the explanation of the principle of prayer: "Prayer - an arrow flying in the ear of God! Hitting the target means that she heard (...) All the attention on the arrow, aim and shoot. In this passage, not so much mysterious, as a practical premise: something like this operates photographer, doing creative work. Rozanov does not rely on external effects, but attempts to adjust his spiritual vision, to make contact with namolennoy power flowing from these places. And this means everything happens by itself, miraculously. And therein lies the skill of the artist.
Draft Mikhail Rozanov, "ministry" raises major issues of photography, its ability to capture, store and "broadcast" high state. This - the spiritual experience of responsible service to the beauty of this art.
