New Trinity Icon
Trinity Icon Drawing Process 2024 + Marek Czarnecki
The Artist begins by reflecting on the original icon of the subject matter. In this case the icon of the Trinity by Russian iconographer Andrei Rublev. Though the original is worn, all the clues to the writing of the icon are present in the original. Icons are described as written, not drawn, as they are an object of revelation like Sacred Scripture! The artist then makes an initial drawing in pen and ink which becomes the “bones” of the future icon.
The artist then inkes the drawing onto the board and finished the gold leaf background. It’s a double layer of 23.75 kt rose gold.
