Stevco Arapcheski [Stefan]

Stefan was born and raised in Prilep Macedonia, where he lives and works. He was educated in Skopje and started painting at a very young age.

His talent was recognized about
10 years ago when, with encouragement, he understood his unique talent and intensified his career. As visitors from Australia, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Serbia, and Greece visited Prilep, they discovered his artistic talent. He was commissioned for numerous works of art, and now his paintings are sold all over the world.

His dream is to come to the USA, to visit art galleries and museums, broaden his artistic abilities, and promote his own art as well.

His artwork includes icons, Biblical paintings and modern art. His most recent art work is the icon of St. Mary, mother of God, which was completed in 2007, and is placed in a church near Prilep.

In the words of the priest and the people of the church, this is one of the most beautiful icons in the church.
