Icon painting at St. Elisabeth Convent in Minsk
Larisa Nezhbort paints icons in the workshop of St. Elisabeth Convent in Minsk. Her extensive portfolio includes countless icons crafted for both churches and family households. Rejecting the idea of icon painting as a mere job, she views every new icon as an entire journey within her own life. This sacred art demands not only technical skill but also deep focus. Larisa uses ancient techniques, relying on a wooden board, levkas, gold leaf, and natural mineral paints blended with egg yolk.
