Contemporary art contemplates the sacred: "Ancient Wisdom Contemporary Art"

Sapienza Antica Arte Contemporanea (Ancient Wisdom Contemporary Art) is an unprecedented profound visual reflection on how contemporary art engages with the sacred. Born from the long term friendship and joint ecumenical journey of Italian contemplative artist Marcello Silvestri and theologian Paolo Ricca, the book is an original instrument to discover and meditate the Bible through Marcello's paintings, colours and multiple materials. It was published by Casa Editrice Claudiana on the occasion of Christian Unity Week in 2023 (17-25 January). The Spanish edition, Sabiduria Antigua Arte Contemporaneo, was published also in 2023 by San Pablo Editorial.
