Different approach to creativity
Sacred & Religious art
The sacred language passes through different possible media. Images through paintings and stained-glass are some of them. Here you will find examples of the two approaches.
Sacred Art adds a different approach to creativity. It is about opening your heart and like letting do your hands when images appear in a certain moment of freedom, like when loosing ourselves out of time and reality. It certainly adds something deep and strong to the work of art. It feels like having a special privilege of being able to pass a message of beauty, peace, justice, love. Being in company of sacred art calms down, elevates the heart and the soul, pushes you to silence. To the artist is asked to try to fade away, to recognise with humility that it's not his work anymore. Like when you're singing elevated songs, the author is forgotten. The goal is much higher and lighter.

CHURCH OF NOTRE-DAME DE L'ANNONCIATION
By their play on lines and superb pastel tones, recalling aquarelles, the 23 stained glass windows symbolically evoke the main stages in the life of the Virgin from the Annunciation to the Assumption and events in the life of Jesus. They are like a meditation on the spiritual development of Mary and a master-work to be fully appreciated preferably with explanations by Jan Goris about his art.
