"We are glorified door makers鈥�, says Aidan Hart, a professional iconographer, 鈥渂ecause we create a door between the world and heaven.鈥�

鈥淚 feel like a composer and poet but working in colour and form rather than notes and words.鈥�

World-renowned iconographer Aidan Hart paints an icon for Advent and explores the meaning and theology of this ancient religious art form.

Today he talks about the strange perspectives of the icon.

You can follow his progress in the picture gallery on the programme webpage.
