Who we are
Welcome,
We would like to present to you a God-pleasing social project from the vision of the priest and iconographer Elias Chryssopatis.
This vision is supported by a team of at least 25 visual artists and students of the School of Fine Arts of Ioannina, which was created with the aim of offering to the whole world, regardless of financial means, the opportunity to acquire unique Hand-painted Icons, heirlooms and special works of Culture at very affordable prices.
Our goal is to be able to combat the standardization that we encounter in all the pilgrimage sites in Greece, that is, the disposable printed images that deteriorate over time, as this is tantamount to the erasure of the tradition of Iconography, as well as the History & Culture of this place.
On the opposite side of the debasement, the carelessness and the cheapness of profiteering, we are using the wages of our fellow human beings with true handmade works that will be able to preserve the Tradition and the History of our country for the next generations.
The shape of the depiction of the works that we have inspired and created, symbolizes the "Scepter", which as the "Scepter of Faith", will transmit and proclaim our faith hand in hand to the next generations.
We also create various monuments, attractions of our place, as well as local heroes, which can decorate each space as souvenirs but also cultural souvenirs of our country.
The benefit of acquiring such an heirloom is triple, as you help to keep the tradition of our place alive, you acquire true works of art with minimal money and you thus contribute to the livelihood of 25 young people who need it.
All our works are painted with the highest quality colors, in real gold leaf and on special woods for painting of oak and flame.
You can choose the works you prefer and place orders. We ship our works throughout Greece and abroad.
A collective effort that started 20 years ago. Our goal is to save the minimum amount that ends up in most pilgrimage sites in our country, in disposable standardized images. In a few words, the 20-25€ throughout the country, which are condemned to a photocopy glued on a pulverized sawdust, we are using them by replacing them with Heirloom Hand-painted Icons painted on natural oak wood, with iconographic powders and gold leaf in the shape of the "Scepter of faith" to proclaim the truth of Christ from generation to generation.
