A gift money cannot buy ready-made
A gift for someone who has everything: a work made for them
You cannot give one more thing to someone who has everything. You can give a work that does not yet exist: a hand-painted icon conceived for that person, with their saint, their name, their story. It is the exclusive gift par excellence, because no one else in the world will own one like it.
Why it works for someone who has everything
- It is unique: a fine-art work painted entirely by hand, not a mass-produced object.
- It is personal: subject, Greek or Latin inscriptions and the dedication on the back are chosen for them.
- It has a story: every stage of the work is photographed and gathered in the certificate on real parchment.
- It lasts: with proper care an icon passes through the centuries and becomes a family heirloom.
How to choose the subject

A gift you can announce
A work made for one person can be announced with a letter telling the chosen subject and its meaning: the gift becomes a story even before it arrives. Every icon is commissioned with an offering proportionate to the time and materials of the work, and arrives with a certificate of authenticity on real parchment, photographs of every stage and a booklet explaining its meaning.

Frequently asked questions
What do you give a person who has everything?
Something that cannot be bought ready-made: a unique work conceived for them. A hand-painted icon of their name saint is an exclusive and personal gift.
