Leonidas Diamantopoulos put brush to a large canvas spread out on the floor of his Athens studio, etching out images of a pool of water and a man standing beside it. Slowly, the story started to come together.

He’s not painting pictures, he said. He’s writing stories.

Every so often, Diamantopoulos stood up and ascended a small spiral staircase. On a second-story balcony, he can look down at the image — better perspective for how it will look on the ceiling of a Dallas church.

“Someday after I finish the whole project, I’m sure this church will be a landmark site for Texas,” he said.
