Μaking this Icon, I had in mind the image of a loving father such as the righteous Joseph. Original greek byzantine icon of st Joseph and child Jesus, hand painted on selected 2 wood. This one of a kind hand made painting which was executed in great detail and respect to the holy faces, makes the most vulnerable father’s religious gif. It is alsto a prayerful piece of art, to be granted as a housewarming gift as well as a name day or a baptism gift. PROCEDURE: First of all I prepare the wood with special materials so I can carefully sketch the figure on it. After that I start painting the basic colors and later on I come back many times with my various brush sizes to end up to the concrete details of the Holy faces. This icon is made according to the traditional old art of byzantine iconography where the image is painted on wood or canvas, with egg tempera (egg yolk, vinegar and color in dust) and gold metal leaves. After painted, it is varnished so it is preserved through time. My aim is to draw friendly and merciful holy faces so that their gentleness inspires somebody to pray and hope

As individuals, we are both deeply rooted in the rich history and spirituality of Byzantine iconography. My husband's journey as an iconographer began decades ago, fueled by a profound connection to the sacred art of his ancestors. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to his craft shine through in every stroke of his brush. For me, the allure of Byzantine iconography lies in its ability to transcend time and speak to the soul. Drawing inspiration from centuries-old traditions, I bring my own artistic sensibilities to our collaborative process, enriching each piece with a sense of reverence and harmony. Together, as a married couple in Greece, we are committed to preserving and sharing the beauty and significance of Byzantine iconography with the world.
