"Mak Dizdar: The Scribe of Silence and Stone", acrylic on canvas, Bishop Maxim, 2025
Mak Dizdar, the poetic soul of Herzegovina, is portrayed here in a moment of silent genesis. Seated in the hush of his room, his presence echoes the ancient voices of the Stećci, Herzegovina’s timeless stones. His shirt and the curtain beside him share a muted radiance, leading the gaze to a window where a lone house and sacred stone stand—witnesses to the life and loss his verses awaken. The page before him shimmers with history, longing, and quiet hope in this subdued interior. More than a manuscript, it is Mak’s way of giving breath to the forgotten and voice to the buried.
