Reading a local blog who mentioned an artist (Dora Nikolova Bittau) from Bulgaria who incorporates aspects of earlier Western and Eastern iconographic images from Bulgaria. More are to be found here:
In truth, I'm an iconography purist, but I don't think anyone would confuse a lot of her work for traditional iconography. Her use of color in a lot of her other work is stunning.
This is sadly part of a very common occurrence in Kosovo. Vandals enter churches, set them on fire, then they urinate and defecate in them. ...
"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
Great picture! Where did you find it?
