Title

Journey Within

Creator

Saccopoulos, Kriton-Nektarios

Abstract

In my artwork, I weave Christian symbolism into every aspect, aiming to evoke a profound spiritual experience. The baptismal bed symbolizes purification, while the illuminated canvases represent the primary colors used in byzantine portraits of saints,
guiding viewers on a journey of faith and self-discovery, inviting them to deepen their connection with the divine or to simply tag along on my journey towards accepting Christ into my life.

Artist Statement

Journey Within fuses Suprematist aesthetics with Christian imagery, employing geometric shapes and vibrant colors to evoke a sense of divine presence. Inspired by Malevich's exploration of pure artistic expression, the installation invites viewers to embark on a spiritual odyssey guided by faith and introspection.
