Abstract
This article critically analyzes the graduate qualification works produced in recent years at the Sergey Andriaka Academy of Watercolor and Fine Arts, focusing on the depiction of biblical narratives. It examines the distinctive features of the creative concepts, iconography, and compositional and coloristic choices, considering their relationship to the traditions of academic and monumental ecclesiastical painting. The technique employed in the execution of large-scale compositions - multilayer watercolor - is unconventional, with its methods tailored to meet specific artistic objectives.
