Holy Icon

A movie about famous Greek icon-painter Stamatis Skliris and his understanding of art, God, humanity, colors, shapes, and life.

ON SENSITIVITY - The Morning of the Laurel Scent

"Seek sensitivity everywhere so that you may stumble upon it both in life and in nature... Only when you paint that which you love can you deliver something true."

In an attempt to transfer his views and exploration of a new iconography to younger artists, the famous Greek iconographer Fr. Stamatis Skliris wrote an article about sensitivity - a letter to an unknown student. The film is based on that letter.

This is a film about art, search, review, and an attempt to find the key.
This is a tribute to the art of Stamatis Skliris, his spirituality, and the beauty of his painting.
