Description:

When illustrating, you have to stay in the traditional elements, constantly curb yourself. The Ionian school abolishes many stereotypes that constitute the system of "pictorial" cult painting. You can take initiatives by studying theological issues, but it is difficult and often the risk of escaping is great. But this fascinates me especially!Hagiography in a temple, along with other arts such as hymnography, chanting, wood carving, as a whole, help in meditation and prayer. Many times I have the feeling that I am in a constant prayer, in a special relationship with the people I am trying to portray.The art of hagiography offers the same answers to the existential problems that each art offers. The artist approaches with the sensitivity and insight given to him, the greatness of nature and the perfection of our Creator. The same beauty and perfection from which we are created. Perhaps the meaning of life is to approach or return to this ideal beauty, the perfection from which we once began.
