Surreal Sacred Icon – “Saint Johnny and the Three Kittens” | Hand-Painted Blo Kirilov Style on Wood Panel

Drink from it, all of you – for there is nothing else."
Saint Johnny and the Three Kittens – a contemporary sacred icon for an age where miracles are served with ice.

Hand-painted on MDF wood, this surrealist icon captures a moment of modern devotion and quiet absurdity. The saint is a bottle — brown, tall, red-labeled. It neither cries nor speaks. It simply exists. Instead of eyes: amber. Instead of lips: a label. This is our smooth, anonymous savior — found in every 24/7 corner shop.

In the glass – a womb. Inside: three kittens resting on ice. Not symbols. Not metaphors. Just the strange tenderness we wake up with. Innocent, fragile, placed in the same vessel we empty to forget.

The hand holding the glass is not human — it’s barrel-like, smoky, dotted, ritualistic. It doesn’t offer or refuse. It simply serves. Endlessly.

The background burns with apocalyptic orange. The halo: perfect, blank, divine.

This is not just an icon. It is the need for one.
A belief, diluted with irony.
A sigh that has taken shape — something we might hang between the television and our forgotten self.

Created in the surreal-religious style of Blo Kirilov, this artwork is a one-of-a-kind expression of spiritual longing and contemporary parody.
