"IKONER"

Concerning my painting "LETTER I" I want to explain that it belongs to a series of paintings that i call "IKONS". They are for me "relatives" with the old Byzantine Ikons but they are referred to the modern heroes and saints but also to the fears and demons of nowadays. They are also in some way capturing the reality that we are facing in our daily life. They are having the size and the appearance of the old ikons but they are made in a modern way. Although they are painted on wood, (as in the old days) I am painting in acrylics and making collage from parts of special chosen photos because of their contemporaneity and I am making my own compositions following my feeling for a strong and harmonical tale.
