Iconic Ontology • Vol. 2 (Spring) 2018

The heart of the icon is located behind, not in front of the official curtain. The heart of the icon is the depicted Saint himself, and not the drawing or its color. We are presenting ideas that have fertile roots. The principle (the canon) is the uniqueness of a person and nothing more. There is always space for the originality of iconographic themes. You can always express something old in a new way. The heart of the icon beats in Paradise. It is the source of the circulating blood and life within each icon. This idea promotes poetic creativity, rather than elaborate studies. Send us sketches, unfinished drawings, or pictures so that we may publish them before they're done!
