🎨 The first layers of color are now in place on this large icon of the Mother of God with Christ — part of an ongoing iconostasis project.
At this scale, every line, every transition of color and every detail must be built patiently, layer by layer, following the traditional language of Byzantine iconography.
Still a long journey ahead, but the image is beginning to reveal itself.
Hand-painted in our workshop in Romania using traditional egg tempera and genuine 23.75k gold leaf.
