The Most Holy Theotokos of Eleousa — Wall Icon
A deeply intimate and tender image of the Most Holy Theotokos of Eleousa (Tenderness), where the Mother gently inclines her face toward the Christ Child, and He rests against her in quiet affection. This beloved icon type reveals not only the presence of divine love, but also a profoundly human expression of compassion, closeness, and quiet sorrow.
Marked by this intimacy—the touching of cheeks and the softness of gesture—the image speaks of both maternal care and the path that lies ahead. It invites stillness, prayer, and contemplation.
This original icon by Zoran Rnjak was created with lime plaster on board, building the surface through deliberate passages of color to create depth, presence, and a quiet luminosity. The image emerges gradually through this process, allowing subtle shifts of tone and light to give the icon a living, contemplative quality.
Within the devotional life of the Church, the Theotokos is revealed here as both Mother and intercessor—one who bears Christ and gently directs the faithful toward Him. The image recalls the words of Scripture:
“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
— Luke 1:46–47
