"Christ the Savior", acrylic on canvas panel, 11x14 inches, Radmila Vasiljević and Bishop Maxim, 2026
This icon depicts Christ Pantocrator, the eternal Lord whose calm and penetrating gaze meets the viewer in a spirit of compassion and peace. Painted in a restrained palette of warm earth tones, soft blues, and luminous flesh colors, the image draws upon the Byzantine tradition while expressing a gentle contemporary sensitivity. The subtle modeling of the face and the quiet radiance of the halo emphasize Christ’s dual identity as both fully human and fully divine. Through its simplicity and intimacy, the icon invites prayerful encounter with the One who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Heb. 13:8)
