Iconographic School in Bielsk Podlaski, Post-secondary iconographic school in Bielsk Podlaski, Poland.
The Iconographic School in Bielsk Podlaski is a specialized post-secondary institution that offers comprehensive education in the ancient art of icon painting and sacred art techniques.
Founded in 1991 under the guidance of Father Leoncjusz Tofiluk, the school emerged from summer iconographic workshops that had been conducted since 1983 in the region.
The institution preserves and transmits the traditional Orthodox and Catholic iconographic traditions, teaching students the theological significance and spiritual symbolism embedded in sacred imagery.
Students learn practical skills including drawing, painting techniques, icon restoration, and gilding methods while working with traditional materials such as wooden boards and natural pigments.
The school emphasizes the contemplative and prayerful aspects of icon creation, treating the artistic process as a form of spiritual devotion rather than mere aesthetic expression.
