The center of this triptych is "Christ Savior, Not Made by Hands" (14th c) with the Theotokos and St. John the Forerunner at either side supplicating. The artist gives great care and attention to detail in transforming an ostrich egg into a treasured holy collectible. Replicating the icon of Christ on canvas gives the feel and appearance of an original oil painting.
"Christ the High Priest Blessing" icon replicated on canvas gives the appearance of an original oil painting. The shelf (floor) becomes a sacred home for a cross or other holy keepsake.
Slovenian artist, Franc Grom creates egg art using an electric boring tool. The results are stunning and as laborious as the finest of craftsmen from centuries past. The eggs that Grom creates have approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes (he has been known to drill up to17,000 in one piece). The results are simply amazing. Who would have thought that something so delicate could be made even more fragile and precious.
