Stas Makarov’s prints capture the city’s weight and light. Angels of St Petersburg (2000) shows winged figures drifting over snow-lit streets and canals, their outlines sharp against the soft glow of winter dusk. The print folds Orthodox icon traditions into contemporary poster style, using flat planes of color and crisp black outlines that feel both old and fresh.
