PARIS, FRANCE ~ THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, icon by George Kordis (@gkordis) is traveling to be part of “THE COLORS OF INFINITY” / a Contemporary Icon Painting Exhibition, Opening: 30.11/ 18:30 to 21:00 at the Bulgarian Cultural Institute, Paris. 🌾

Icons of masters of church art of 15 artists from Italy, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia will be presented in this unique ICONATA exhibition. Prepared over two years, the exhibition is a rare opportunity of various schools, practices and techniques in one space, each recreating tradition in a specific aesthetic.

The event is the 10th edition of the exhibition, organized by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church Municipality "St. Mary" Patriarch Evtimiy Turnovski in Paris, together with the Bulgarian Cultural Institute and with the blessing of Western and Central European Metropolitan Anthony. CURATOR: Dr. Vanya Sapunjieva.🌾

Join us in learning the beauty and poetics of the Byzantine System for making new icons for our times. We invite you to learn more through the link in our bio where you can join our mailing list (through Writing the Light) and look towards new creative opportunities in 2024 with us.

Tuesday Peace before us ~ 🌿

Gratitude for teammember @chronis.vichos who brought along his drone to film the moment here with @gkordis (and @maria.panou_art who makes a brief appearance too!).
