Prokopenko has achieved sheer brilliance in her deft treatment of the tiny peices in her micro-mosaics.  What’s more is that it is done with a rainbow of majestic colors. ”      Prokopenko is a rarity in today’s contemporary art scene.  Her focus on detail is akin to that of artists that worked hundreds of years ago.  Often described as a colorist, her colors inspire the viewer to spiritual and emotional heights similar to those felt by Prokopenko during her creative process.      You are cordially invited to the opening of an exhibit of mosaic icons created in the tradition of Byzantine masters. Fashioned from tiny bits of glass fit together to bring forth a divine image, the icons are created by Oksana Prokopenko.     Come see and feel the magic.   Media Contact: Tom Lutri (917) 941-1856 For further information please contact: info@oksanapro.com
