History and the secular past have always represented for all humanity a challenge and at the same time a mystery for the present. A provocation for those wanting to dominate the future with their masterpieces and a mystery for those wanting to discover the profound secrets of art. Both can be dominated by the past, even while they are convinced that the present is theirs.

I confess to being dominated by the beauty of the past, even if I am always trying to convert it into the present.

What part of this dream of mine I have been able to accomplish is left to your appreciation after you view the Orthodox icons of various dimensions.

These are Orthodox icons painted according to the rules of the famous models which have gone beyond the boundaries of space and time of certain cultures and which represent the spiritual riches of the present.

Looking at these Byzantine icons I would like you to enrich your view with that of the past and to share a moment of profound spiritual beauty.
