In the middle of the painting, the author of the surprise of a new era for humanity. And the reflections of the city in the waters balance the action of the painting from the left side with the surprise of electrification in a world dark before. The dove’s descent refers to the Holy Spirit, who leads to discoveries and theological surprises with His inspiration. And we have evidence that the great inventor had powerful metaphysical tendencies. We can say that the megalopolis’ illumination comes from the illumination of the Spirit. "Light-Giving Revelation 2", acrylic on canvas, 18x24 inch, Bishop Maxim, 2022 In this painting, the unexpected originality achieves three points: the unique color work, the incredible lightness that holds the meteor planets, and the waving scarf that transforms the Little Prince into a flying CHERUBIM. Perhaps the Little PRINCE on the right has the innocence that gives him the audacity to stretch out his little arms and embrace the mysterious majestic FACE OF THE UNIVERSE. And suddenly, in the center of the enormous sphere, we perceive a gigantic child’s face, looking at us with innocent eyes, which look at us as if to detect if there is any trace of unfailing love left in the depths of our hearts. Their lighting, which results from the artist’s rare color work, makes us feel like children playing a space game in a friendly and welcoming environment. And the stars do not seem to be of the hard and heavy material of the congealed lava but rather appear like soft and juicy fruits in a heavenly fruit bowl. It is not the vast faceless space in which the fixed stars run their curved courses. First, the black universe (due to the lack of atmosphere) seems to us as if it were breathing and pulsating with its blue shimmers. Such a rare and indescribably innocent thing is encountered by whoever sees this painting by Bishop Maxim Vasiljevich. One of the rarest things in life is to meet the innocent, the blameless, and the childish in a good sense. "Cosmic Liturgy", acrylic on canvas, 16x20 inch, Bishop Maxim, 2022 The wreath of the victorious struggler adorns the head and the central action of the painting coalesces to the plaintive face with doe-like eyes who turns toward the onlooker with a beckoning question to the heart. The head of the central figure stretches from left to right accentuated by an elongated neck, away from the colosseum of death, tilting toward the life to come, while the face remains facing fully toward the onlooker thus bringing the action of the scene and its intent toward the viewer face to face. The figure is clothed in a white baptismal garment indicative of the purified martyr and the wedding garment of Grace for the betrothed of Christ. A table with a chalice of paradisical fruit overflows as the foundation of the restored Eden. On the right, idyllic scenes of peace and abundance fill the space, sails lifted by the Spirit who is in all places and filling all things. Above the Colosseum is a pillar of cloud, half hidden as a mandorla, reminding of the Holy Spirit’s invisible presence comforting and strengthening the martyr. It is a place where gladiators and lions devour Christians for the entertainment of the people. On the figure’s left is the Colosseum built from the gold taken by the conquering Romans from the Jewish Temple. The figure of one between two worlds toward life to come.
