Welcome to the mystical world of the paintbrush. Art lovers, delight in the elements that perpetuate, vivify and modernize our Byzantine art and tradition.

It is this tradition that our hagiography studio copies and continues. An artistic treasure unfolds before you on our website. Embrace the earthly beauty of sanctity.

Delighting in Byzantine art is philokalia, love, search for the divine beauty which sanctifies the person and the whole creation.

Art in the Orthodox Church is deeply theological, it becomes a holy art that transforms the Church into heaven on earth.

Today, when contemporary art is superficial, leaving humans without a sense of taste or consolation, Byzantine art constitutes a way of thinking, a stance on life.

Researching and studying Byzantine art is very opportune today when every culture is in danger of losing its character and civilizations are brutally evened out. Researching the value of our tradition and looking into the mysteries of Byzantine art is more essential than ever before.

Within the big European family, preserving the Orthodox Ecclesiastical Art and tradition is our duty and the means towards safeguarding our identity.
