Seeing Love (In Russian)
Alexander Sokolov (1959–2015) was a key figure in the revival of Orthodox iconography at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. His work is not merely art but a profound witness to faith, calling the viewer not just to stand before an image but to enter into prayerful encounter. Rooted in the tradition of the Orthodox Church, his icons reflect the deep theological truth that an icon is not an end in itself, but a means of communion with the divine. This volume traces Sokolov’s artistic and spiritual journey, revealing his unwavering dedication to the holy vocation of iconography. Showcasing his most significant works, the book explores his distinctive style, theological vision, and contribution to contemporary Orthodox sacred art. Sokolov’s icons and frescoes adorn churches in Russia, Poland, Japan, Italy, America, and Cyprus, bearing witness to a legacy that continues to inspire iconographers and believers worldwide. Through these pages, his artistic and spiritual world unfolds, where each icon becomes a true window into eternity.
