Eikṓns | 2024

The Eikṓns collection 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.

9 artworks

Rustic, handcrafted original art

Each icon is a unique, mixed media, 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.

In the Eikṓns collection, Robson shifts his focus to the sacred, producing beautifully crafted reproductions of Orthodox Christian icons that capture the spiritual depth and timelessness of this ancient art form.
