This painting is one of my series dedicated to the Book of Zohar and features a quote from the book on the frame. I produced this series when I studied Kabbalah. The inscription on the frame in Hebrew: “Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in His holy place?” All the people in the world do not see why they are in the world. They do not observe so as to know for what purpose they are living in the world, and the days go by and never return. And all those days that people live in this world rise and stand before the Creator, for they were all created and they are real.”(The Book of Zohar). This text is done in the technique know as Assist gilding. This work requires technical knowledge and skills as it is very difficult to correct mistakes. Firstly, adhesive size is applied to the areas that will be enhanced with gold. Then genuine gold leaf (23.75 karat) is applied to those areas and the rest is removed with a soft brush. Egg tempera on wood, protected with varnish. Ready to hang, no frame required, 12x16 inches.

ICON PAINTER, EGG TEMPERA ARTIST, EDUCATOR Since adolescence, Alina Smolyansky has been a capable artist, initially dedicated to watercolour painting. However, in recent years, after following not only her parents, but also her grandfather into a career in engineering, she started looking for more meaning, both in her life and her art. In 2008, this search brought her to an icon painting class. Inspired by this new art form, Alina now paints traditional Eastern Orthodox icons as well as other paintings, using traditional egg tempera, an over a-thousand-year-old technique. Egg tempera attracted Alina by its simplicity, purity of colours, and above all its history and traditions. Alina’s inspiration stems from Eastern Orthodox icons, mediaeval manuscripts, and the serenity of nature. Alina is also one of the few teachers of egg-tempera painting and traditional Eastern Orthodox icon painting in North America. Alina holds a BA in Professional Communication from Royal Roads University, as well as a diploma in Architecture. Her works are in private and public collections in Canada, United States, Germany, Great Britain, Australia, Thailand and Israel. She lives in Vancouver, Canada, and is available for commissions, presentations, workshops, classes. For find out more about the artist and icon and egg-tempera painting, please visit Alina's website: www.lettherebelightart.com She is also available for commissions.
