The artworks have been exhibited in Germany, Ukraine and Crimea. They are also held in personal collections of Ukraine, Russia, Czechia, Hungary, Germany and USA. All religious icons are active, they live and help people as for example in the Temple of Malorechensk in St Nicholas cathedral. There is no gold or silver or jewels in the works of Vladimir Denshchikov, but all of them radiates love and a deep insight of things, they evoke a lump in a throat, great relief and tender emotions make your eyes fill with tears. And though a linen thread doesn't shine but there is a light over the icons that doesn't die away, the light of work multiplied by Love and Faith. The artist lives on the tip of the thread. His religious icons breathe and live.
