Icons - 2015
"Religious Art, liturgical or not, must continue being Art, since this is the way it can attain universality in this world. Renouncing Art means risking being misunderstood outside one's own historical or geographical field and thus locking oneself in a closed system."
Camelia de Montety
"For some years, Camelia de Montety has been painting religious scenes convinced that each time she would create a new world where events have a presence that weighs on viewers with the solidity of history.
Following this approach, she started being interested in icons, understood as the actual presence of an original and timeless reality seen by the ancients, by those early Christians for whom the memory of Christ had the living quality of a vision, a wonderful dream.
Camelia de Montety became acquainted with icon techniques through the method developed by the French artist of Russian origin Galia Bitty, whom she met at the Orthodox Centre of Monestier, in Dordogne.
When she paints faces from sacred history, Camelia de Montety concentrates her attention on the gaze into which life must be infused, be it with the intensity of the Christ Pantocrator or the sweetness of the Virgin. In her figurative paintings and even - to some extent - in her abstract work, so a fortiori in her icons, there is always a point which gazes back at the viewer, returning his own gaze."
