    Gift ideas in Los Angeles and nearby

    For a Beverly Hills residence, a Malibu villa or a historic Pasadena home, a hand-painted icon is a work of art that converses with the architecture and with California light. It is also the gift for a wedding, a baptism, an anniversary or for someone opening a new studio or business.

    Commissioning and shipping to the United States

    Consultations take place online, in English or Italian, at a time that suits your time zone. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and an explanatory booklet in English. Shipments to the United States require customs documentation and, because international rules and conditions change often, arrangements, timing, costs and any import charges are checked at the time of commission.

    The time of prayer begins with the commission
