The Stories of Mono Petra

Last farewell to the Albino.

Whenever they ask me why I took up painting, people get the impression that it was because of my stay in Paris. Perhaps for that reason too, but the real push for me to start taming colors and images lies somewhere else. With all other arts you keep thinking about the story you are shaping up. As for me, I found that painting was the only thing which takes my mind entirely to the Lord in prayer. Thus painting seemed to me the most divine of all art ploys.
