A special note from our iconographerDear Patrons, When commissioning an icon, it is important to be aware of the fact that most of the famous icons of the world are 24” x 36” or larger. The detail that is so easily represented in a print is due to the fact that the image has usually been reduced many times. For this reason the same detail that you may see in an 8” x 10” print may not be reproduceable in an actually handpainted icon. As an iconographer, the most important detail for me in the icon is the face. This is where the eyes and expression will hopefully lead us spiritually to an experience of the heavenly. This is not to devaluate the rest of the image, but to hopefully suggest that sacrificing the size of the face for the sake of excess detail in a smaller icon may not be beneficial. An icon is a spiritual investment. The icons you receive will last many generations. They are not just symbols for the wall or copies of famous images, but individually part of the common experience of the Church. No two icons are ever exactly alike. The icon that you receive will be unique and communal, hopefully acting as a spiritual tool helping all who view it in their journey towards the Truth. Icons are not just reminders of the Faith or symbolic theology, but a mystical point where the wall between this world and the next becomes a translucent veil helping us to shed the scales from our eyes and open our hearts to heaven. Your unworthy servant, |
