Icon of the Mother of God Lakoschitiotisa

Made of electroformed copper and subsequently plated with silver and gold, this icon is made in a technique derived from galvanoplasty – a process used in European workshops to create sculptural relief with precision and depth.

The Virgin and Child is presented in the solemn register of post-Byzantine iconography, with hand-painted features in oil, preserved in the classical iconographic canon. The halos, gilded and decorated with Bohemian crystals, introduce a refined contrast and a subtle visual rhythm.

A toned oak frame with a dark finish completes the ensemble, while the glazed structure with side hinges recalls the portable format of kiots . The engraved metal decoration highlights the ornamental vocabulary of the late medieval era, bringing the work into an area of ​​interference between the cult object and the decorative art of collection.

A piece that stands out for its meticulous execution and sober aesthetic vocabulary, suitable for exhibition in private collections, museum collections or auctions dedicated to contemporary sacred art.
