Annunciation Sculpture

For me, Byzantine Hagiography is painting and theology combined. It is an artistic expression and an expectation of salvation at the same time. It's a transcendence, a way of portraying the transcendent feature. It removes the worldly light, space and time. It does not hesitate to break free from the naturalistic perception of secular art. It removes perspective and declares the secret depth. It transforms matter into spirit. For these reasons I decided to get involved with the style of Byzantine Hagiography, painting either sacred icons or modern works, imbued, however, with tradition, and references to the Byzantine Christian Art. Left leaf (section) door-leaf, "Holy Door". The pulpits are small entrances (two-leafed doors of the Orthodox Christian churches) of the iconostasis, which separates the sanctuary from the main church. They symbolize the passage, the entrance from the earthly world to the heavenly one. This particular section of the pulpit has as its theme the "Annunciation of Virgin Mary" and is an effort to faithfully copy a pulpit located in the Byzantine Museum of Thessaloniki, 15th century. It is wood carved, perforated technique. It is decorated at the top with embossed floral decoration that ends in a wood carving (double-headed eagle, the Byzantine symbol of power). At the bottom, only the Archangel Gabriel is depicted, full-bodied, in open stride and with his right hand raised in a blessing gesture. The work is entirely handmade, wood carved and gilded with gold leaves. It is painted in the traditional way of Byzantine iconography and it is part of the image of the "Annunciation of Virgin Mary".
