N.G. Pentzikis:

From studying the monuments of our religious tradition, I have drawn conclusions about the symmetrically unsymmetrical and about the fact that an uneven square may be geometrically more correct than an even one, about rhythm as the basic element explaining the world and human life…- N.G. Pentzikis

Beauty & Truth (A selection from N.G. Pentzikis’ Mother Thessaloniki)



The beauty of the real is only revealed to those who can endure it.  Beauty is not desire for the individual who is naturally blest; it is perseverance next to, close to that which you are not…

The truth, in which there is room for us all, and to which no-one has a monopoly, is reflected in the phenomenon like a picture, in existence as the likeness to God.  Our lives it is impossible for us to narrate, the image of the city impossible for us to see, if we rely exclusively on what we are, if we do not remember that we are baptized, with an iconic death, receiving life in our flesh in the name of an ancestor and Saint, of one who had journeyed before.
