Publisher's Description
In this book, Michael O'Brien presents many of his stunning works of art. His vibrancy, originality, and variety are on display in more than 120 full-page, full-color reproductions of his paintings and Byzantine-style icons. Also included are some of his drawings and other works in black and white. O'Brien's pieces are introduced by Dr. Clemens Cavallin of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who analyses the artist's influences, principles, and unique style. In O'Brien's preface, he explains his development as a visual artist and his philosophy of sacred art.

“Freed from stylistic and formal fads, Michael O'Brien's images arrest viewers in the here and now before propelling them into the depths of spirituality. His story recalls that of Fra Angelico—living Truth while painting Truth.”
“O'Brien's time spent as a writer of Byzantine icons has influenced all his work: these pieces are indeed 'windows to heaven'.”
“Those of us who know Michael O'Brien's fiction will delight in this volume of his art. His work is quintessentially personal, in the sense that it incarnates the extraordinary vision of this marvelous man.”
