Iconography Workshop
Alexander
I will paint an icon and document the process on film
My four-year training practice began in a Ukrainian capital monastery, where I studied various spiritual disciplines and icon painting techniques. In 2019, I completed my first icon. Since then, I have created over 70 icons, several iconostases, and participated in church mural projects and exhibitions featuring my works
Techniques of Execution:
Each icon is painted within the walls of the monastery and created using ancient techniques—natural wood, mineral pigments, and egg tempera.
In your orders, you can choose any style. I visually demonstrate options that complement the background and composition well. You can also provide your preferences, and I will take everything into account to find the optimal solution just for you.
Upon request, your works can be fully blessed by the presbyters of the Orthodox Church.
During the execution, I provide clients with high-quality video and photo reports, filmed with expensive equipment, where you can observe the creation of the image in real time.
The recorded material is assigned to you, leaving a permanent digital memory of the creation of your order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I order an icon?
You can submit an order request on the website or contact the author directly, after which you will be added to the queue of clients. Due to high demand, immediate order fulfillment is currently unavailable.
How long does it take to paint an icon?
The exact timeframe depends on the compositional complexity, format, and the number of decorative elements. A standard-sized icon takes up to two weeks to complete, and international delivery can take up to 14 days. In total, you will receive the icon approximately one month after the start of its creation.
How is the delivery carried out?
Each icon undergoes secure packaging, and a document from the National Museum of Ukraine is attached, stating that the work does not have historical value and can cross the border. Afterward, I provide a tracking number, so you can monitor the shipment.
