In creating an icon, we invite three kingdoms: minerals (chalk ground, pigments, gold), plants (wooden board, canvas, wine), and animals (rabbit glue, chicken egg yolks, brush bristles).
In an icon, all these elements come together, reminding us of God’s presence in creation.

"An icon is not art to which faith is added,
but art that flows from the vision of faith.

— Michel Quenot
