"The icon as a sacred image is one of the manifestations of Church Tradition, along with written Tradition and oral Tradition."
- Leonid Uspensky

About us

We are Orthodox Christians, people whose lives are closely connected with the church, and this defines our goals and values. We are friends, and our friendship enriches us with the opportunity for mutual help and support. We have a wide circle of communication in both religious and creative environments. We are able to implement complex projects and complete them quite quickly. We are also united by a love for church art, mutual creative experience, and a passion for Greek icon painting. Thanks to our fellowship, we grow both creatively and professionally.

Our principles

Faithful to tradition

We work in the canonical icon painting style. We use traditional materials: icon painting board, gold leaf, egg tempera, etc.

Author’s understanding

We create new iconography of Saints, we work on traditional mural painting in the conditions of modern architecture. We develop unique theological and aesthetic concepts of artistic projects – both temple painting and new iconography.

A certain style

We adhere to the Greek iconography style, but at the same time we are developing in other directions: Old Russian, Byzantine, Early Christian.

Durability and reliability

Taking into account modern construction technologies, we strive to create traditionally durable and reliable solutions for performing artistic tasks.

Transparency and involvement

We welcome the active participation of the customer in the development of the artistic project – from the theological concept of painting and ideas to further participation in its creation. If desired, you can observe the progress of the work at each stage.

“God expects a creative act from man as a response to the creative act of God” - Philosopher Nikolay Berdyaev

Discussion and consultation

We begin a discussion of the general theological concept of the painting, study the object, its architectural features, historical context, purpose, location, and wishes of the customer.

Measurements and research

We go to the object, take measurements of the walls for painting, and carry out a general inspection of their condition.

Project work and approval

Taking into account the data received, we develop a project. In digital form, we schematically depict the walls of the temple with compositions at a scale of 1:20. We determine and approve the best solution, the general idea, and concept.

Painting works

We begin to carry out painting works according to the approved project.

Installation of scaffolding

Preparation for successful execution is the installation of high-quality scaffolding on site. This is provided by the customer based on the tasks set.
