What distinguishes the icons created in the studio?
Since 1995 the two craftsmen have been working in team in the sphere of the Bulgarian icon. They have taken part in the European Craft Fairs in Belgium, Switzerland, Germany. Some of their works are part of private collections in Bulgaria, Europe, USA, Canada and Japan. The team enriches and develops the unique traditional style of decoration characteristic of Bulgarian icon-painting: laying on the so called "alchia" by hand so that a decoration can be achieved.
What distinguishes the works of the two masters - painters is the vivid style, the accuracy of the detail, and the rich decoration (ornament).
Every work of the studio has own sertificate.
