I began working with icons more than forty years ago, first as an apprentice in restoration and later as a professional involved in projects such as altar pieces and cupola paintings for churches. Alongside practical work, I explored the philosophical and theological dimensions of icon painting, which deepened my understanding of artistic form, style, and meaning.
The discipline and technical knowledge gained through icon painting have strongly influenced my approach to art in general. This experience has helped me recognize the spiritual and historical roots of many developments in European visual culture.
Working with icons has allowed me to better understand the visual language of different forms of art.
