Holy Icon

"Pacifica", acrylic on canvas, 2020, Bishop Maxim and Rada Vasiljević

In Pacifica, sea and sky melt into one luminous horizon, where a single white-sailed vessel drifts across the indigo expanse. The waves shimmer with gold and emerald, as though the ocean itself breathes light. Along the shore, radiant hues of violet and coral evoke both arrival and farewell—a moment suspended between peace and movement. With its vivid palette and lyrical brushwork, the painting transforms the Pacific coast into a vision of serenity and spiritual passage, where nature becomes an icon of eternity.
