In 2008/ 2009 I pained many ornaments and decorations in the church as a part of the team of Prof. Sasho Rangelov, author of the whole project.

The Etropolski Monastery "Holy Trinity" (Bulgarian: Етрополски манастир „Света Троица”) is a Bulgarian Orthodox monastery near the town of Etropole in west-central Bulgaria (80 km from Sofia).
The monastery was founded in the 12th or 13th century. It includes a large mid-19th-century church and two chapels but there were no paintings on the walls up to 2008/2010.
All the murals are new, not restoration work.
