Christian Icons on Wood
The Christian icons on wood I create are deeply personal and meaningful works. Each original is painted by hand with care and respect for Byzantine tradition, while also carrying my own artistic expression. Through my work, I seek to bring tenderness and warmth to every face, so that each icon offers a sense of closeness and quiet comfort.
I am here…
The Virgin Mary with the sparrows
Hand-painted icon — from €190
Wood print — from €70
Dimensions from 20 × 30 cm (7.9 × 11.8 in)
I wanted the Virgin Mary’s gaze to convey tenderness and comfort, as though she were whispering to the person looking at her, “I am here…”. The little sparrows nestled safely in the folds of her garment remind us of God’s care for even the smallest and most vulnerable creature.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.”
— Matthew 10:29
Together through time…
Saints Peter and Fevronia
Hand-painted icon — from €190
Wood print — from €70
Dimensions from 20 × 30 cm (7.9 × 11.8 in)
I wanted this icon to speak of a love that endures through time; of two people who choose to journey through life together with tenderness, devotion and faith. To me, the roses surrounding them symbolise a love that continues to blossom and remains alive through the years.
“Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and is united to his wife, and the two become one flesh.”
— Genesis 2:24
