An iconic portrait of Leonard
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2016 3:08 am
Hello all, I am an iconographer in the Greek / Byzantine style and have created an icon of Leonard Cohen. I am dedicated to placing every day people in my icons to show that we all have divinity within - not only so-called saints. I believe it is important for everyone to see themselves as holy and precious. Even if you are not religious, it is a way to express that all humans are full of light and have only to realize it. It is my hope that by seeing oneself as a light giving being, we can embody it. In keeping with Leonard's Greek connection, I have used Greek lettering for the words at the bottom which read in English "Lord of Song". It may be artistic license but I think it fits well. I hope you agree and enjoy this portrait. Feel free to share.
