Not everybody knows that in the medieval Times
only the greatest masters made icons from start to finish.
As a rule painters used stencils following strict rigors
of painting technique and higiohraphic formulas. The masters
controlled the whole process and finished the icons.
The icons were not signed as a sign of humility and fear
of God. Even though the greates icon painter ever Andrej
Rublow followed the example set by Teofan the Greek he wasn't a
copier but a creator.
Painter Tadeusz Zielinski is also a follower but he is not a copier or a stylist.
He lacks the contact with the masters of old - he is the new one.
He paints the same way as they, he uses the same technique to achieve
the same ways of expression, holiness and dignity.
As a result Tadeusz Zielinski is a unique artist and
his icons are new originals. Even though icons are
painted now they have the touch of great art and smell
of antiquity. The creator himself is no doubt an aristocrat
among the icon painters.

Zielinski didnt just stop with painting. He is designing whole churches
like the alter of Stella Maris. Stella Maris seamen's society has alters
ia ll of the bigest sea ports of the world. The one is Swinoujscie however
is special. Even the heads of Church in Macedonia have invited Tadeusz to
decorate their churches.
