Holy Icon

"Bay View from the Window", acrylic on canvas, 2025, Bishop Maxim and Radmila Vasiljevic

From the quiet interior of a city apartment, the Bay unfolds through a window — one wing ajar, a curtain gently swaying as if breathing with the wind outside. A single vase stands near the sill, its form echoing the contours of the distant hills. The city’s rhythm hums beyond: muted sailboats, bridges dissolving in fog, and the glimmer of light upon the water. This painting invites a contemplative pause — a dialogue between interior stillness and the living pulse of San Francisco, between the intimacy of home and the vast openness of the Bay.
