The exhibition will be opened by Zorica Zlatic Ivkovic, an art historian.The exhibition "The Mandorla of an Icon" is a cycle that consists of 28 tapestries created through a five-year work. The inspiration for this kind of outpouring of spiritual energy of the author was an icon of the Virgin of Ahtir mourning over the already crucified Christ from Miljko’s monastery.
