The
origin of the word Icone is very ancient, comes from Greec, and means a sacred image. The first
icons were painted in IV a.C. century. The Bible tell us about the first
icon in human history: God took some clay (Adama) and made the image of
a man.
The first image created by God was Adam. He was the first icon of
God, a humain being made at the same shape an image of God. The first
thing Adam did was to give name to the animals. All the icons are named.
The first icons were named in Greec.
   
Prata studied Icons at the Atelier d´Iconographie Saint Luc of Paris, with Hélène Iankoff. He also went to Mount Athos, in Greece, in that research.
