Ako mlčí obraz?
How is the Painting Silent?

Summary/Abstract: The impetus for the reflection on silence and painting was an invitation to one of the regular discussions of artists and theoreticians that take place within the so-called synodal process in the parish on Teplice Street in Bratislava. Its topic was the question of painting before which one can pray. To understand how a painting is silent, how it is silent to us, whether with us or in us, can only be understood against the background of the idea of how it can speak to us, how it can resonate with us, speak to us, talk to us. Against the backdrop of phenomenological analysis, the essay seeks to outline the ontology of silence, the interrelationships between silence and discourse, silence and painting, and finally the relationships between space, painting and prayer.
