Icon painting commissions can be termed with your skill to paint an icon. The established iconographers of this art industry say that one has to work hard to enter into the deeper meaning of iconography by immersing its personality and thinking into the visualizing of that icon. That’s why, many artists call it icon writing rather than painting icon because prayers are done and religious talks take place before embarking on such a responsible position. One is commissioning icons only for Churches; it is a collective effort to bring the masses near to the divine power so they can add it in your daily life.
One
of the renowned iconographer has expressed this thought beautifully in her
words. She says that icons are companions in prayer and it would not leave any
impression if have not been made in context of surrendering to the ultimate
divine power. That guides us to accept Archangel Gabriel in the dimensions of 9×7″,
Prophet Ezekiel in the dimensions of 24
x 18″, Madonna in the dimensions of 17″
x 11″, Saint George and the Dragon in the dimensions of 8 x 10″ and much more like this to integrate
in our daily prayers. Icon painting
commissions follow the traditional art of egg tempera.
