Holy Icon

The Creator of the Universe, detail from the Creation of the World, St Maximus Church in Kostolac, Serbia; Wall-Painting by Stamatis Skliris, 2006-2010.

The frescoe painting begun in 2006 and completed in 2010. It is a pictorial cycle, which relates to the theological teaching of St. Maximus the Confessor. Later there will be painted other topics. The hard part was to artistically perceive something from the teaching of the Holy Father. The idea was of Bishop Ignatius (Mintits) of Branicevo, who is a specialist in Saint Maximus, since he wrote a thesis on Ecclesiology of St. Maximus the Confessor at the University of Athens.
