Hand-Painted Byzantine Icons

Every Icon Begins With
Gesso, Prayer, and Patience

BZICONS creates hand-painted icons in the Byzantine tradition — gessoed wood, '' and egg tempera, acrylic pigment, and metallic gold, made one commission at a time.

Written, Not Painted

In the Orthodox tradition, an icon is "written," not painted — each one built up slowly in translucent layers of egg tempera or acrylic over gesso and metallic gold, following forms passed down for centuries. BZICONS is a one-person iconography practice bringing that same patient process to new icons, commissioned one at a time for homes and gifts.

Custom Commissions

Each icon is written slowly, in the Byzantine tradition, with prayer at every step. Tell me the saint — Christ, a patron, or saint — the size, and where it's headed, and I'll reply with a timeline and a price before any work begins.

Information

I am an 18-year-old Orthodox Christian based in Sweden, and my work is painted with prayer, tender care, and love in every brushstroke. My icons are not perfect compared to those of a professional iconographer, but they are made with a quiet devotion that comes from the heart.

20% of the income from these icons goes to the church, and the rest helps cover the materials, paint, and other costs that go into making each piece by hand.

Every icon that leaves this iconography practice is blessed by a priest before it goes.
