In the icon of the Trinity, Rublev preferred transparent colors in blue-green tones that he combined with the technique of scumbling to achieve a luminous presence that also speaks to the heavenly nature of the three angels.

If you are interested in participating on this level, please email me at: to begin. Membership in the AAI has always been and will remain without financial cost, but to join at the level of being represented worldwide on a separate page to other people interested in icons, there will be a fee of $35 to cover the costs of maintaining that page. TO address this issue, I am offering to create a separate page for this website that will list members, show a photo, give their website, and a short description of their work. More recently, it seems, iconographers have wanted to use that platform for self promotion.
