"Todor Politsch: Builder Between Hills and Horizons", acrylic on gesso board, Bishop Maxim, 2025
This portrait renders Todor Polich in the vigor of his younger years, his steady gaze reflecting the resolve that shaped bridges, communities, and institutions. Behind him rise the soft, enduring hills of Herzegovina—the land that formed him—while to the right stands the iconic tower of Stanford, honoring his generosity toward the Hoover Institution. To the left, one of his bridges arcs like a testament in steel and spirit. The painting weaves these worlds together, capturing a benefactor whose life joined landscapes, peoples, and futures with quiet strength.
