Art, artistic creativity and prayer

Summary/Abstract: One of the key questions with which contemporary theology has to deal is providing support for art, so that it could perform its tradition-honoured role of a „mediator” in relation between man and God. Works of art, especially paintings, have proven their unquestionable value in this respect more than once. The unique role of paintings finds its manifestation particularly in prayer which constitutes a privileged place of meeting between man and God. Artistic creativity in its internal dynamism may constitute substantial aid in this respect, since it not only provides the believers with actual visualisations of religious themes, but also conveys the example for man of how to go beyond oneself, which plays the fundamental role in religion and spirituality.
