EIKṒNS | 2024

Introducing the Eikṓns collection – a collaboration between Arte Delux and Simon Lee Robson.

Eikṓns showcases a striking series of rustic, handcrafted Byzantine Greek and Russian Eastern Orthodox icons. This collection pays homage to the rich traditions of Orthodox Christian art while adding a contemporary, artisanal touch.

Whether displayed individually or curated together to create a dedicated icon corner, these bespoke pieces serve as both sacred objects and captivating works of art.

Rustic, handcrafted original art

Each icon is a unique decoupage-on-board piece, meticulously crafted using a variety of traditional techniques. Layered with multiple coats of stainer, varnish, egg tempera, and water lacquer, the icons achieve an authentic antique patina. Select icons are elegantly framed in gilt or natural wood, enhancing their timeless beauty.
