Annunciation Painting

A handmade copy of an icon from fourteenth century. The icon pictured above is an example of my work, made to order and is currently not available. I create my icons, following the traditions of Byzantine art. On a board covered with canvas, I layer several coats of primer. I paint with tempera, mineral pigments and egg emulsion. The front of the finished icon is varnished with an organic alcohol-based varnish to protect the surface and keep the colors fresh and vibrant. The back is treated with dark lacquer to preserve the wood. The process usually takes 4-6 weeks. A hand painted icon is a meaningful and memorable gift for a special occasion such as wedding, birthday, anniversary, christening or farewell. It can add a spiritual touch to the interior of your home. If you would like to order a hand-painted icon specifically for you, please contact me!
