As early as 2012, he received a proposal for a retrospective exhibition at the museum-church of St. Isaac in St. Petersburg in Russia, which he considered (perhaps prophetically) as a conclusion and culmination of his career. In the last three years he was completely dedicated to creating works especially for the exhibition. Large works were made, with personal details and bold colours and designs, intervening in their otherwise rigid lines.

The exhibition took place on October 3, 2015 at the State Museum-Monument Cathedral of St. Isaac, St. Petersburg. He was unable to attend because of the bad state of health; however, he spoke to attendees online.

He died on October 6, three days after the opening of the exhibition which lasted until November 16, 2015 and received great reviews. The top distinction, however, came after his death, with the selection of one of his works for the Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg.
