Icon painting

Icon painting is a theological and visual practice where stylized representation serves spiritual purpose rather than naturalistic description, developed over centuries within Eastern Christian tradition. The discipline requires learning an inherited visual language, understanding why certain colors and proportions carry meaning, and developing the humility to serve a tradition larger than individual expression.
