In today’s spiritual landscape, Orthodox Christian art isn’t merely a historical treasure—it’s a living, God-inspired tradition experiencing powerful renewal. While many view Byzantine icons as relics of the past, C-Icon Art Online Gallery stands unique in our courage to showcase how Orthodox iconography continues to evolve as a vibrant, theologically-grounded artistic expression.
Our gallery holds a distinctive place in the world of sacred art as we are one of the very few willing to present both traditional canonical icons alongside more experimental contemporary approaches. This theological dialogue between tradition and innovation reflects the living nature of the Church’s artistic expression through the ages.
Our curated collection features hand-painted icons from master iconographers across the globe—including Finland, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, and the United States. Each authentic piece participates in the sacred tradition while speaking to modern believers, creating windows to heaven that honor ancient practices yet resonate with contemporary spiritual sensibilities.
Beyond our extensive Orthodox icons for sale, we provide specialized church architecture/design consultation services for parishes undertaking renovation or new construction projects. Our team of ecclesiastical design experts guides communities through every aspect of creating sacred spaces that harmonize liturgical requirements with the beauty that befits God’s dwelling place.
We’re proud to offer beautifully produced books showcasing wonderful examples of contemporary church design projects and works of selected artists—perfect for inspiration and reference for parishes planning renovations or new construction. Our collection also includes high-quality icons printed on wood or framed icons, providing affordable options for individuals and communities seeking to create prayer corners in their homes.
For those seeking personalized sacred art, we can produce custom printed icons of saints venerated in your specific region or parish upon request. This service allows communities to honor their local spiritual traditions with artistically exceptional iconography that fosters deeper communion with these holy intercessors.
Our Collection section features icons that have already been sold or are not for sale, but you can order a copy of any of these works—either hand-painted or printed—upon request.
