The colors of the original paintings may slightly vary from what they appear on computer monitors/mobile screens due to different camera/PC monitor/mobile screen resolution and settings. The Icons look like a real medieval Russian art, written by old masters of the 16th - 17th – centuries. All my paintings are stylized as antiqued and made in the classic technique of old Masters. ▲ Note: The icons have a number of specific features: cracks (“craquelures”); imitation of loss of the “levkas” and the paint layer. A pattern of minute surface cracks (a network of fine cracks) on painted surface. I developed my own unique technique and technology imitation of craquelure, loss of the “levkas” (gesso) and the paint layer. The crack patterns are artificial (handmade). The craquelure varnish was not used for the stylization! The icons are made to appear aged through the use of artificial methods and various techniques. The majority of the Icons, I have created were painted on aged wood, however, at times I have had to resort to the use of boards created and carved with my own hands, and subsequently aged artificially. In particular, this icon board created and carved with my own hands, and subsequently aged artificially. The “kovcheg” (cut-back centre portion) is deep, with two thin connected cut in the reverse side. All Icons are executed in accordance with the canon, iconographic traditions and iconography technique. The traditional iconography basically imitate rare extant icons of the 16th - 17th – centuries. The icons look old-time (old style/16th - 17th – centuries style) and very similar to the original icons of the 16th - 17th – centuries style. The Christ in Majesty iconography is based on the scene of the vision to the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1: 4–28, 10: 1–22) and similar visions to the Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 6: 1–4) and John the Theologian (Revelations. 4: 2–9). The Pantocrator is depicted enthroned surrounded by the virtues. Sitting on the throne with the semi-circular back and the slanted pediment Christ is attired in the ochroid clothes – chiton and himation with the brown wrinkles and gold hatching. His right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing and his left hand holds an open Gospel book. The figure of the Savior is depicted in the mandorla consisting of the rhombus, the ellipse and the quadrangle put on each other and filled with the depictions of seraphims and cherubs. Near the pediment are depicted so-called “thrones” – fiery wheels with eyes and wings. In the corners of the quadrangle are represented four apocalyptic beasts – the angel, the lion, the calf and the eagle, the symbols of the four evangelists. Let me know if you have any questions! I will be happy to answer. Thanks for looking!
