Notice the deer-in-the-headlight eyes, the jewelry, and the lips that look like she is ready to kiss.
This is reprehensible. What saint is this supposed to represent. It is hard to read his Greek lettering.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Here is a link to that website.

Here is a photo album of some of his work.
He is a great artist, but not so good at iconography because of his use of vivid colors, which go against traditional Orthodox Christian iconography.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
