    George Kordis: The Journey of a Master Iconographer

    George Kordis is a world-renowned iconographer. His work can be found in churches, museums, and sacred spaces throughout the world. He's also a theologian and a teacher, someone who has really thought through his work. He's uniquely able to communicate his holistic sense of art, culture, and theology. Kordis's first conversation with Luminous, "Art in Secular Culture," revolved around theory and related subjects. This second conversation takes a different direction, one that sheds light on his own journey with the sacred arts.

    Helena Tulve: Channeling Creation

    It’s rare that one encounters a soul so vastly creative, and so clearly attuned to the things-that-are. Helena Tulve’s diverse compositional oeuvre finds its common thread in that attunement. She expresses herself with warmth and with precision. Our conversation begins on the subject of the Jesus Prayer and takes right off from there.

    Kim Haines-Eitzen: Desert Sounds, Desert Silence

    Kim Haines-Eitzen adds to a rich body of work with her most recent book, an exploration of the desert soundscapes that may have shaped the lives and writings of the ancient desert ascetics. We talk about this, and more, in a conversation I recorded from my forest hideaway in Estonia.

    George Kordis: Art in Church and Secular Culture

    In his art and in his thought, George Kordis articulates his ideas with breathtaking clarity. And he is one of the world’s great living iconographers. Enjoy this conversation, recorded in front of a live audience at St. Vladimir’s Seminary.

    Mona Arshi: Poetry and Defamiliarization

    Mona Arshi brings all of herself to her poetry: her background as a human rights lawyer, a family lineage deeply embedded in the poetic, and a keen observation of the world—with a commitment to recognize and subvert patterns within that observation. All this makes her a very special interlocutor on her artistic medium.

    Aidan Hart: Creation is a Poem of Love

    Aidan Hart works in multiple media—painting, sculpture, carving, mosaics—to create liturgical art of stunning beauty. As an author and speaker, he also reflects deeply on the nature of the sacred arts, stemming from a profoundly theological vision of creation. Our Luminous conversation, recorded in his studio in Shropshire, visits all these places.
