ICONOGRAPHER BROTHER CLAUDE HOW TO
To learn more about how to begin your sacred and spiritual journey of awakening through the art of Byzantine Iconography, call today: 90. Learn mire about the spiritual path of the Iconographer It is this spiritual awakening that we strive for with the painting of every new icon. Iconography is not simply another art form or style, it is a spiritual path to awakening the divine within. The Iconographer must be fully awake and fully present. This path requires discipline: prayer, scripture reading, meditation, contemplation, fasting, and nepsis (watchfulness). The Iconographer is on a spiritual journey to develop the icon within the Iconographer strives to be recreated into the likeness of God. The Iconographer does not first and foremost seek to create a physical icon, but rather a spiritual icon.
Iconography is a spiritual art, a Transfiguration, a party from darkness to light. The purpose of painting icons is not just to create a finished product on the board, but to reveal the icon within you. The Path of the Iconographer is a Spiritual One A teacher can point the way, he can show you the sign posts on the journey but it is up to you to get up, take up your cross, and step out on the way. Revelation cannot be taught or learned, it is instantaneous, it happens in one moment and the mind instantly knows. Icon writing is a journey, a return to paradise. Ask less of the teacher and look more into yourself.
