Iconography

Byzantine Art

An icon is not simply a painting. “The icon seeks its divine Prototype, strives towards its Archetype, orients man… It is not merely a theoretical or descriptive content, but an encounter, an immediate presence, a generative unity.”

P. Evdokimov, “The Art of the Icon”, Pournaras Publications, pp. 187, 181, Thessaloniki 1980

Welcome to the Byzantine Iconography Workshop
“by the hand of Chrysoula Ntella”.

In every icon I create, I bring the Divine Presence and the vitality of tradition. My icons are unique, entirely handmade, in authentic Byzantine technique and with an attention to detail that goes beyond modern production. Each icon demands time and devotion, which is why I work on a limited number of pieces each year, to ensure the highest quality.

Each icon can be made with or without ageing, according to your wishes, and has a durable composition that will last for generations. I can create icons on request, in different sizes and with custom subject matter.

They are worthy of a prominent place in a living room, an office or an elegant hall, and they can be offered as wedding or baptism gifts, votive offerings or family heirlooms.

Between every brushstroke of colour and every golden engraving, I seek to create a connection that goes beyond the purely visual. My icons do not simply decorate a space -they sanctify it.

I would be glad to discuss your vision. Contact me for commissions, questions or to see design templates.

Chrysoula Ntella
