The Process

The process

In this section one can follow through the rotation of the photo album below, indicatively, the steps of creating an image of mine. The design applied to the painting surface, the creation of the color frame, the pasting of the gold on the background, the writing of the letters and the halo, the painting of the individual parts of the illustration with their different painting levels and finally the preparation of the back wooden carrier.

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

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

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