Now, with there only being a few days before Pope Benedict XVI's resignation, I'm sure that none of the people reading this expected another post about the Vatican. And you would be ... half-right. Why? Cause today, we're introducing Natalia Tsarkova, the Pope's official painter.
Tsarkova is a Russian-born artist that has painted numerous portraits and pieces that are hanging in several chruches, museums and Vatican Palaces. She comes from Moscow and had graduated from the Moscow School of Arts. According to Tsarkova, her faith and spirituallity are key to her ablility to paint portraits for the popes.
This enthusiastic Russian painter has developed a strong connection with the shy Pope Benedict and was very shocked when he announced his resignation.
