Alongside the icons of nature, represented in the form of birds in Angerami's works
Byzantine icons are found, whose tradition is maintained by the meticulous mastery of Mimmo Candela. A work carried out in different phases, from sculpting the wood of the tables to painting with the egg tempera technique, passing through the details of colors and gestures characteristic of Byzantine iconography. "It is an attempt to recover an art strongly present, in the past, in this area of Greek cultural influence, and which for various reasons, is disappearing", said Candela.
Byzantine icons are part of a unique representation of the sacred, without humanizing it.
For this reason the images are transfigured, celestial, as Mimmo Candela explained. Visitors will be able to grasp the common elements in the works of the two artists, such as the use of gold, which refers to the symbolism of the sacred, among others.
