Christ Pantokrator Icon



This is my latest icon in cut paper and mixed media, an image of Christ Pantokrator, a very old type of icon common to Byzantine churches, executed in mosaic, as well as in small panel icons (painted).

Included in the borders of this icon is a motif more Catholic than Orthodox, that of wheat and grapes (representing the bread and wine of the Eucharist).

Prints of this icon are available to buy at www.artbyraber.etsy.com.
