Commissions
St Constantin and St Helen
Saint Constantine, the Roman emperor who legalized Christianity, is depicted in royal garments and a crown, embodying imperial authority sanctified by faith. Saint Helen, his mother and discoverer of the True Cross, is dressed as an empress, reflecting her pivotal role in Christendom’s spiritual history. Together, they symbolize the triumph of Christianity and the profound unity of Church and state under divine guidance: a sacred partnership that shaped the spiritual destiny of nations.
St Anne and St Barbara
This icon of Saints Anne and Barbara was created as a family icon for two sisters, symbolizing their deep bond and shared faith.
Saint Anne, mother of the Theotokos, represents spiritual nurture, wisdom, and the quiet strength transmitted from one generation to the next. Saint Barbara, a courageous witness to faith, embodies steadfastness, protection, and inner bravery. Together, these saints reflect the virtues that unite the sisters- love, courage, and devotion, and serve as heavenly intercessors throughout their spiritual journey.
A family icon is a sacred and intimate opportunity: a visible reminder that Christ dwells in the heart of the family home. This commission honors not only the saints but also becomes a spiritual heirloom, a unique and deeply personal expression of the sisters’ relationship and faith, crafted especially for them to treasure and pray with for generations to come. This pair now graces at home in France.
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows
This icon was specially commissioned for an art collector in the United States, blending traditional sacred art with profound personal significance.
The Mother of God is depicted with seven swords piercing her heart- a powerful symbol of the sorrows she endured and her boundless compassion for all humanity. Venerated as a healer of division and hatred, she is known to soften even the most hardened hearts, bringing peace, reconciliation, and spiritual protection to those who seek her intercession.
A deeply moving image, this icon transcends mere devotion to become a meditation on the transforming power of love and suffering; a testament to how redemptive grace flows through sacrifice and maternal compassion.
