Commission Work

Icons of any size written in Egg Tempera medium, using natural pigments,  applying Gold and guiding, on a wooden board prepared in a traditional long-lasting way.

Price determined during discussion with the customer, complexity of the image, size, and amount of gold.

Wall frescoes either directly on the walls/ceiling, on panels, or on canvas and glued to the surface. 

For Acrylics, I use NOVA colors, one of the best producers of acrylic paint in North America today.

For Al Secco, see the next sction. 

This is the approach where natural pigments are mixed with Silicate medium to achieve an effect similar to wet plaster technique, but a lesser penetration into the wall. This is an approach used by many iconographers for church murals today, and that can withstand a more unstable temperature environments, comparing to Egg Tempera murals.

Iconostasis design, based on the interior of the Church, and the desire of the "customer", with one or several levels. The sketch can be provided on paper, or in the digital medium.

I follow Orthodox Church Liturgical Iconographic tradition for church frescos. If hired, and after multiple discussions with the customer on the ideas, wishes, and initial schema suggestions, I will  provide a colored-pencil paper sketch of murals design for each of the walls,  to communicate the future work, and to make decisions on any necessary changes or adjustments.
