"The art of hagiography is the work of Divine Grace. It is not just an art, it is a sacred one. It is not painting but theology, communion and doxology. It is not an artistic expression but anticipation for the salvation. It is not an ornament but communication with God. It is not a collection but consolation and feeling of rest in God's hands..." as the great Hagiographer Photios Kontoglou correctly writes.

For this reason, I humbly embrace the older technicians' principles and I am totally aware of the importance of this service, as it is about an ecclesiastical service and not a profession, I strive in my workshop all these years not to deviate from this notion but rather to expand, enrich and renew my works.

I always work with the old traditional method of egg tempera, only with natural materials, pure 24-carat gold leaf and based on old original Byzantine copies and forms.

As I live in Lemnos I got really influenced by the natural beauty of the scenery around me and the abundance of natural materials provided thus, I tried to experiment in new techniques, creating in this way a new kind of portable icon with a more decorative character by combining the old with the new. As a result, the orthodox Byzantine icon became a trend for the younger generation.

The customers have the opportunity to choose from a variety of available works in my workshop and they can also order any kind of work they like online but they need to contact me by phone beforehand. There is retail or even wholesale service available for Greece and Abroad.

Finally, the workshop can officially certify that all the works can be exported abroad as they have been debugged.
