Silkscreen Print – Features

Silkscreen printing is a widely used technique in iconography, and it is taught and used in many iconographic workshops, including those on Mount Athos. In the icons created with this technique, the monks use traditional methods, which means that the iconographer paints much of the icon by hand, with very little involvement of technology. The aging technique used on these icons is also handmade, giving these works collectible value. These are exact replicas of Byzantine art, in which the charm of the old is strongly present. The icon is crafted with high-quality materials on natural wood, and the painted surface is coated with pure beeswax to ensure that the colors of the image remain unchanged over time.

The icon is available upon order.
