Madonna & Child – Light of God

55

An icon featuring a close-up image of the Madonna and Child, created using the image transfer technique on fine wood, enhanced with touches of acrylic and watercolour paint. Mary is wearing a red gown, traditionally symbolizing Christ’s sacrifice which is honoured as the highest form of God’s Love. The gold background represents the divine light of God.

Icons of this style date back to the Byzantine Empire (330 to 1453 AD) and early Renaissance era. These have been a central feature of Eastern Orthodox, Greek, and Slavic Christianity. The art of ‘writing an icon’ is considered a spiritual discipline. The term ‘write’ is used because they are meant to be Scripture in visual form. To this day, icons are revered not merely as paintings but as windows to the Divine and channels for Grace.

Image transfer on recycled noble wood & acrylic paint.

Description

The Catalonia Mooji Sangha, based in Spain, has been gathering regularly since 2016.
A few years ago, they were inspired to meet in the wood workshop of one of their members, Casper, where they began carving wooden crosses to offer to others.
The joy of creating together led them to continue meeting at the workshop, where they now craft shrine ornaments, pendants, and more. Each piece unfolds slowly, often over several weeks, with many hands contributing to its creation. Rooted in selfless service and guided by a natural flow of spirit, these works are offered from the heart.
