Sažetak
Sacral art is undergoing permanent change of its external clothes, however with a permanent constant of keeping the visual interpretation of the truthfulness of the Logos of Christian ecumenism. Within sacral paintings, which are a peculiar visualisation of “God’s message”, comparable to the human nature of the materialisation of the beyond, two artists, one from Croatia – Eugen Varzić and the other from Syria – Elias Ayoub, each of them in his own way, have continued, in visual terms, to develop the contemporary Christian iconography, proving repeatedly that they belong to one and the same visual ecumene of the universal language. The Croatian contemporary painter Eugen Varzić has successfully tried his hand in several categories of sacral art. The Syrian painter Elias Ayoub follows the style of postmodern figurative expressionism characterised by a strong antiwar sentiment and a clear Christian message of hope. These two modern Christian artists, each in his own way, give form to a modern imaginary world and to new perceptions of Christian painterly canons in the process of artistic creation.
