Artistic Process & Materials
Artistic Process
All our icons are faithful reproductions of authentic Byzantine originals. They are created with high-quality lithographic printing on paper mounted on canvas, which is then applied to solid fir wood (never MDF). Each piece is enhanced with artistic touches, our signature aging technique, and protected with eco-friendly water-based varnish for maximum durability.
Every piece is unique and may show slight variations due to the handmade process.
Materials Used
Solid fir wood, iron, canvas, paper, and in some cases bronze, copper, fabric, and 8-karat gold leaf (on select icons or by request).
We use exclusively solid natural wood for authenticity and durability — never MDF.
Certificate of Authenticity
Every icon comes with a certificate of authenticity. Alexandros Stratoulis is an official member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts. All design and craftsmanship take place at the GENESIS workshop using our traditional aging technique.
