Wrath, Envy, Greed (Avarice), Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth (Acedia) – Featured in main image above<\/p>\n\n\n\n

’I am often asked the question: Why, what’s behind the idea of painting sins? Regardless of religion, regardless of where we come from, regardless of upbringing, we are sinners. Excuses are always there, ready to hide behind and yes, mostly it’s religion. Does heaven and hell exist in afterlife or is it here on earth already?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
