Paint on the floor. Brushes everywhere. Half-finished canvases. Colors that seem disconnected at first glance. Yet somehow, from that apparent disorder, new worlds are born.

A studio is not always meant to look perfect. Sometimes the chaos is the engine of creation. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective to realize that the environment itself is already part of the artwork.

Every tool, every stain, every unfinished idea carries the possibility of something new waiting to emerge.

Creation begins long before the final piece is finished.

SAINT LUCY OF SYRACUSE — THE MARTYR OF LIGHT

Saint Lucy of Syracuse was a Christian martyr from the beginning of the 4th century who suffered during the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian in Sicily. Her name comes from the Latin word lux, meaning “light,” and through centuries she became a symbol of spiritual sight, purity, courage, and unwavering faith in Christ.

According to tradition, Saint Lucy dedicated her life entirely to Christ and refused to renounce her faith, even under torture and threats of death. She was ultimately martyred for Christ, holding the Cross of victory in her hands. Because of the tradition connected to her eyes and spiritual vision, she is often depicted holding a plate with eyes, symbolizing both her suffering and the inner sight that comes through faith in God.

In this icon, every detail carries meaning:
The palm branch represents her martyrdom and eternal victory.
The Cross is the sign of her witness to Christ.
The plate with the eyes reminds us that true sight is not only physical, but spiritual — the ability to see God, truth, and holiness even in the darkness of this world.

I was deeply inspired while painting this icon. It brought me great joy to work on a saint whose life allowed me to incorporate so many symbolic and theological elements into one composition. Through iconography, the life of the saint becomes not only history, but a living testimony of faith, courage, and divine light.

Saint Lucy, pray to God for us.

THE CROSS OF SAINT SEBASTIAN

Saint Sebastian Dabovich, one of the newly glorified saints of America, remains a powerful example of faith, sacrifice, and missionary work in the Orthodox Church. His life was filled with struggles, yet he faithfully served Christ and became one of the greatest Serbian missionaries in America.

When His Grace Bishop Irinej and I planned the frescoes for the monastery in Shadeland, one of his ideas was to incorporate into the painting the original cross of Saint Sebastian, preserved in the bishop’s residence in New York.

This fresco was created as a combination of portrait realism and traditional Orthodox iconography, allowing the relic of the saint to become part of the sacred visual story of the new saints in America. Fr. George

Shadeland - St. Sava Monastery ( Children’s camp) finished!!! Check the final fresco paintings 👇👇👇

With the blessing of our beloved Bishop Irinej, we organized an Iconography Camp in October 2025. Over the course of one week, dedicated students gathered to study and work, receiving hands-on instruction in fresco painting under my guidance, Fr. George Popovich.

During that time, the foundations of the fresco were carefully prepared and established. After the camp, I completed the work, and now the entire west wall of the church stands as the final fruit of this shared effort.

We look forward to continuing these iconography camps in the future—forming not only skilled iconographers, but true theologians, knowledgeable in the faith and rooted in Christ.
