Shop Hand-Painted Icons at Art of the Icon's Online Studio - Art of the Icon has spent over 40 years dedicated to protecting the true standards of Orthodox iconography, a mission that began with the Vasarmidis family's earliest paintings in Crete and has guided the studio ever since. What started as a modest two-person workshop has since grown into a respected name among collectors and families who value authentic religious art over mass-produced imitations.Every piece reflects the same meticulous process developed generations ago. Hardwood panels receive eight coats of Gesso glue, each layer drying completely before the next begins, followed by a burlap canvas prepared for the line drawing that guides the final painting. Gilding is completed using pure silver and 24k gold leaf rather than cheaper substitutes, giving each Icon real weight and lasting shine. With only three factories worldwide still upholding this traditional method, the studio's continued work plays a genuine role in keeping centuries-old craftsmanship alive. Many customers describe their purchase as an heirloom rather than a simple decoration, something meant to be treasured and eventually handed down through the family. Whether you're furnishing a home altar or searching for a gift with real meaning, the collection offers pieces worth spending time with and learning about before you decide.
