Iconographer Jadwiga Denisiuk lives in Cisna, Poland.
Cisna is located in the Bieszczady-Carpathian mountains in the far southeast corner of Poland close to the Ukraine.
Southeast Poland is a region with a historical concentration of Greek-Catholic worshipers (Eastern Orthodox tradition with allegiance to the Pope in Rome).
The iconography of Jadwiga Denisiuk reflects that long and current history.
Her use of egg tempera on linden board is a traditional and time-consuming technique.
Her incorporation of metal foil is an interesting application of multimedia techniques in iconography (similar to a metal hand physically set into an icon painting).
The Silver Icon is pleased to present the works of Jadwiga Denisiuk to you.
