Sufi monks prefer sombre spiritual constructions. But I like colors of nature. I like Christian traditionalism. I can see the icons as well. Blind iconoclasm paved the road for modernity and destroyed the traditional culture. I am for pro-traditional iconoclasm and spiritual/intellectual/psychological/philosophical iconoclasm and God has created that potential in you, brother. Modern humanity needs traditional arts like Islamic calligraphy.
