Ambushed

I came across the work of Julius Spradley of Contemplative Icons on social media. Iconography is an art form of depicting different saints and church figures, that is rooted in being theologically accurate and symbolic more than Renaissance realism might attempt. As a fan of iconography myself, I thought, "Why not reach out and see if he would be willing to chat about his art?" Needless to say, he said he would be up for it. I found out so much about icons that I did not previously know about it. There is geometry, harmony, symbolism, and so much more that goes into these pieces of "visual theology." After we were done, Julius was so kind as to send some other iconographers worth checking out. Here is his recommendations of people to look into: Greta Lesko Philip Davydov and Olga Shalamova Jose Xamist Ivan Polverari Maxim Shashukov Alexander Tsypkov Sergii Radkevych Khrystyna Kvyk Aidan Hart Julia Bridget Hayes Giorgis Kordis If you are interested in his work, check out: www.contemplativeicons.com @c
