Copts in Conversation by Fr Paul Guirgis

Episode notes

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Kirollos Kilada is an artist based in Mississauga, ON, Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Design (BDes) from OCAD University and is currently pursuing a Master of Theological Studies (MTS) in Orthodox Christian Studies at Trinity College at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on Iconography, Sacred Space and Beauty within Coptic Orthodox Tradition.

Kirollos has been commissioned to paint Coptic icons for churches and homes in Canada, The United States, Australia and Europe for both Copts and other Christians.

As an iconographer, he endeavours to produce icons which are in symphony with centuries of Coptic tradition, firmly rooted in Art History and Orthodox Theology, through an approach that is dynamic and contemporary.
