Seeing Earth and Spirit through Eastern Icons

Presented at the 2025 Jeffrey Rubinoff Company of Ideas Forum on Art and the Sacred Symeon van Donkelaar Seeing Earth and Spirit through Eastern Icons Iconography is a liturgical art form that perceives God through the medium of beauty. This beauty is revealed in its theology, its creation, and its creative visual expression. Looking together at various examples of both portrait and festival icons from Symeon's Conestoga Icons—such as Jesus Christ the Almighty, Mary the Guide, The Fiery Furnace, and The Nativity of Jesus Christ, each of these three elements of the beautiful will be explored within the context of its traditional iconographic roots inspired in modern Canada. Symeon van Donkelaar Symeon has been working as a liturgical artist for over 30 years. While he is best known for his work as an iconographer, when the occasion merits, he also teaches, draws, builds, writes, and walks the land. A love of simple beauty naturally tunes his hand and eye. This makes his perception of the world around him unique; from it, he has cultivated a sense of wonder and curiosity. Drawing from his Catholic faith, his family, and the land, he paints the cosmos participating in the stories, traditions and presence of Jesus Christ.
