Portable Icons Techniques
My icons are made using traditional Byzantine technique of the egg-tempera, over a piece of wood prepared in the traditional
way, the saint or the composition are drawn and the gold plating follows with 23 carats gold in sheets, glued or polished and
subsequently, the painting with earthen colours, dissolved with egg yolk, water and vinegar.
Finishing with the polishing of the icon. The polish is made of resins, mat or polished.
