No. 39 (2020)

Abstract

This article aims to present the work of the Greek icon painter Michalis Vasilakis. Vasilakis’ work, one of the most intrepid expressions of contemporary icon painting in Greece, is incorporated in the age-old tradition in question and has achieved a well-deserved recognition in modern Greek artistic scene. Our presentation is organised in the following way: firstly, we provide a brief historical background of the rebirth of icon painting in modern Greece, so that we can then proceed to the presentation and analysis of the artist’s life and work.

Keywords:
