"Dostoevsky in the Prison Ship", acrylic on canvas, 2021, Stamatis Skliris
This portrait of Dostoyevskiy does not aim to reproduce his physical appearance but rather his inner relationship with Christ Crucified. His vision encompasses the Void. The cell space is alive, as if shredded by the breaths of martyrdom of the many convicts that have covered its walls with rust.
