Natalia Tsarkova poses in her workshop situated two steps from the Vatican?s museums in Rome,Italy on April 18,2011. This attractive young Orthodox Russian was John Paul II?s official painter. John Paul II has left a deep impression on her, as he has on so many. 'The Holy Father has done miracles,' Tsarkova said. 'He stopped wars. He changed history. 'For me his beatification is so natural . I am very happy .' 'To be the painter of the pope is a big responsibility,You need to feel a lot of things. You especially have to feel faith. To really convey one's spirituality, you need to feel the person you're portraying. A painting of the Holy Father is a message.' PHOTO by Eric Vandeville/BACAPRESS.COM
