I have always been truly interested in what other iconographers are doing and creating in the world. Much of it is worthy of respect, joy and inspiration.

And I have always appreciated the things and projects that icon painters do together. Because I think the message is much stronger and more complete that way.

So this year I was encouraging to take part in two international icon exhibitions competitions.

One of them is the project ''Svetlost Logosa -The Light of the Logos'' (kaleidoskop-media.com/svetlost-logosa/exhibition-the-light-of-the-logos-opened) a beautiful and precious icon exhibition in Belgrade (Serbia), which I am truly honoured and touched to participate in. My sincere thanks to its creators for their professional and sincere service to God and people.

The other is a cosy and warm exhibition of small icons ''Odigitrija'' in Bijeljina, Bosnia-Herzegovina (www.facebook.com/odigitrija.bijeljina) Thank you to the organisers for the opportunity to be a part of it!
