The Orthodox Icons
are a symbol of Faith – not mere artifacts or decoration, but an object of
religious admiration. The Icons are a proof of our Faith and closeness to God,
help in our prayers for reaching the Original.
The presented icons
are completely in accordance with the religious canons of the Orthodox Church
and are also a direct heir of the zograph traditions, funded in the Byzantine
Empire. Bulgarian zographs connect the Byzantine icon painting with the
renaissance Christian interpretations of Universe and Man.
The presented icons are
unique with the fact, that they are painted from the hand of a zograph, who had
invested in them his Faith, Love and Admiration to the Original. They are NOT
copies. Each icon is traditionally painted with individual specific details and
is an unique object of Christian art. The icon is an religious and emotional
experience, and the zograph is not only a painter, but a man of Faith, who will
paint an icon only after purification through prayers and starvation.
Classical
traditional technology is used – natural wooden platform, credo ground, egg
tempera and lacer.
NO unnatural
materials are applied.
Example prices are
shown in the galleries.
Transportation and customs taxation is NOT included and will be paid by
