The Holiness photo series is the result of a process through which icons are viewed as a live being
standing before me and waiting to be photographed. These portraits possess all the features of
what I call holiness and especially that of the dark side in which the ancient peoples worshipped
as chthonic deities. Most of them are created in Mount Athos, which I visit frequently. It is there
during the all-night liturgies that I get the chance to meet with the Saints.
