The Icon of the Mother of God the Gatekeeper

Evoking the icon venerated in the Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, this workshop work stands out for its exceptional technical execution and aesthetic gravitas worthy of private collections of sacred art.

The relief is made by electroforming – a refined method rarely found in iconography – which allows for a sculptural finesse impossible with traditional techniques. The faces of the Mother and Child, hand-painted in oil, exude an expressive sobriety, supported by the mount adorned with Bohemian crystals and a carefully selected solid wood frame.

A piece of reserved elegance, with a compelling visual presence, this icon transcends mere devotion. A contemporary heritage object, suitable for a liturgical interior, a religious art collection or a personal gallery with a museum vocation.
