Mixtion iconography is a traditional gilding technique used in the art of iconography, particularly on Mount Athos. Mixtion, a special adhesive material, is applied to the surface of the icon before the placement of gold leaf, giving the image a radiant and profound appearance. On Mount Athos, this art form is a living tradition, with the monasteries creating icons of great spiritual value. The iconography is done on natural wood, which is carefully and meticulously prepared. The wood is coated with gesso, creating a stable and smooth base, ensuring that the icon remains intact and luminous for centuries.
