Description

St Makarios and the Cherub  is a theme first found  in one of the oldest Sinai icons. The miraculous encounter of Abba Macarius with a multi-eyed, celestial being. I attempted to render it in a more “contemporary” and abstract way. I am always wondering how many lines are needed to catch the essence of a theme and I am experimenting with this concept,  in a series of two-pieces icons

  • I used  eggtempera as a medium.
  • The halo of Abba Macarius and of the Cherub are gilded with copper gold.
  • Both pieces are varnished to produce an icon that lasts.
  • Additionally, each piece has a metalic hanger on the back and the can be hanged at the same leve or at a totally different one

The icon is prepared as a gift with some mini extras from our shop
