Icon of St. Nicholas silkscreen

Icon of Saint Nicholas

Manufactured using the screen printing process. Screen printing is a unique technology that allows high-quality reproduction of images while observing the basic principles of icon painting, i.e. applying mineral (natural) paint in layers on a gesso (primer) covered wooden board.
The process of gilding in screen printing also completely repeats the traditional method with the application of a special composition on the base, followed by the imposition of the thinnest sheet sweated by hand.
On the back there is a leg and a hole for hanging the icon on the wall.
