(1667- to 1748) Ukrainian icon painter. Orthodox, and later a Union hieromonk. Born in Zhovkva. In his youth he moved to Lutsk, and later settled in the Bialystok Monastery. He was the abbot of the Lutsk Cross-Vozdvizhensky Brotherhood. He created a significant number of icons. One of the artist’s earliest works are considered to be the preserved icons from the Bialystok Monastery. He is also the author of the Horodyshchensky and Lokachivsky iconostases, which have been preserved only in fragments. During 1698-1705 he worked on the iconostasis of the Manyavsky Skete, NML. Another almost completely preserved iconostasis of the artist is the iconostasis of 1722 for the Zagorivsky Monastery (known as Voschatyny). The last work is considered to be “The Crucifixion” from the village of Chernchytsy, NML.
