About Gouverneto Monastery Branding

Inside the temple, people were sitting on the bench, gazing at the decorative elements. They thought of their creator. The light that came in from the long and narrow stained glass windows, illuminated with color, in only a few places. The priest began to preach his word, and more light would come out of his words than through the windows. The composition of space, emotion, and light, was in peace with the surroundings, bringing harmony within.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Inside the temple, people were sitting on the bench, gazing the decorative elements. They thought of their creator and then, ours. The light that came in from the long and narrow stained glass windows, illuminated with color, only a few places. A contrast that brought more peace within. The priest began to preach his word, and more light would come out of his words than through the windows.
Inspiration
Neptic fathers: Those who abstain from wine drinking. Sober and prudent. With unceasing prayer, constant spiritual practice, sincere repentance and unceasing inclination and purification for a virtuous life.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in April 2019 in Athens and finished in August 2021 in Crete, and was exhibited in Gouverneto Monastery in August 2021
