The Process

In this section, one can follow through the rotation of the following photo album, indicatively, the steps of the creation of my icon. The drawing passed over the painting surface, the creation of the colour frame, the pasting of the gold leafs on the background, the writing of the letters and the halo, the painting on the individual parts of the illustration with their different painting levels and finally the preparation of the back side of the wooden carrier support.

In each of my icons, at the end of the completion of all the steps, I always use a stabilizing material on the painting part, so that the colours remain protected and unchanged over the years.

As you can understand, this process, as painstaking and meticulous as it is required to be, when done with care and patience, the moment of its completion rewards you with such a result that it gives pleasure, peace and tranquility to the hands that will hold it like something special and unique.

After all, each art in itself for those who understand it evokes a multitude of emotions and for those who try to understand it, awe.
