Development of an Iconostasis

Recently the Bhakti Marga art team was asked to plan and create an iconostasis. An iconostasis is a wall with large icon paintings, separating the sanctuary from the nave. In our case the iconostasis has a surface of 2,41 meters height and 4,55 meters width.

In a first step an exact plan is established, the composition with the pictures is drawn und the wooden panels are cut to size.

Then follows the enlargement of the icons and the drawings, as well as the grounding of the wooden panels.

Hereafter you see the different stages in the artistic work. A group of 4-5 artists has worked intensively during the last 3 months on this lovely religious project.

In tranquillity and prayer emerges this iconostasis which will be placed in a church in order to inspire many people to prayer and silent devotion.

In a further report we will show you the last work stages until completion of this iconostasis.
