Current exhibition

Ulyana Nyshchuk "Colour"

Artist spotlight

Ulyana Nyshchuk

Ulyana creates in the folk manner, following the traditional iconography technique, using glass or wood - linden, ash, oak or cypress. Sometimes she creates her works on old door panels, which she buys from antique dealers. Ulyana says that doors from old Polish and Austrian houses have their own ancient spirit, which helps create peculiar pieces. Using a wooden board, she stretches gauze (pavoloka), applies gesso, i.e. icon-painting primer. According to the old technology, it is made with chalk, honey and gelatin. Adds holy water. Ulyana says that working with gesso is a pleasure because it has the texture of the human body. Uses pigments in a powdery substance - egg yolk with beer or white wine. All of her pieces are made of environmentally friendly material.

I am so delighted with the icon of the Holy Trinity, written by Lidiya Yakobchuk. It is beautiful! It was expertly packed for shipping and arrived in a reasonable time. I really appreciated the choice of payment options. I highly recommend working with IconArt Gallery. S. Timoney

My wife and I purchased "Waiting for salvation" by Kateryna Shadrina. We were moved by the quality and content of her work, especially during these times. Honestly, I was concerned about the gallery's ability to ship the painting in the midst of the war, but they were able to do so and the work arrived only a few weeks after we had ordered it. I am very impressed, and commend this gallery and its artists to everyone.

I ordered a beautiful icon painting from IconArt. I live in the US and due to the war felt it important to support Ukrainian artists if possible, and was particularly excited about one of the artists they represent. Buying online I wasn't sure what I would get, but the experience was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. The painting arrived weeks earlier than I expected it would, despite them operating during an active war. The painting is amazing. Sometimes art isn't as nice in person as on websites, but in this case it is the opposite. The piece is detailed, precise, and exactly as described. The gallery was a pleasure to work with -- fast to communicate and ship. All around a great experience.

I had a fantastic experience with IconArt. Not only are the artists they represent exceptional, the interactions I had with Marianna were flawless, and during an incredibly difficult and painful time of war in Ukraine, which is not lost on me. IconArt is a top-notch gallery and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

As I watched the evening news during the haunting first few weeks of the invasion of Ukraine, I could not help but see Kateryna Shadrina’s vibrant image of the Madonna and Child superimposed over the TV footage of mothers carrying their young children in a panicked evacuation of their homeland. Although I have half-a-dozen depictions of the Mother and Child in my office, the liquid blues and electric yellows and oranges give Kateryna’s icon a different dynamic. I had only seen her work online, yet it helped me grieve the situation and prompted me to pray for an end to the bloodshed. In response, I purchased Kateryna's Madonna and Child. When it arrived, I was captivated in a new way with her artistry and the message. I am so grateful to those at IconArt Gallery who make the art of the precious people of Lviv, Ukraine, available to those of us in other parts of the world.

Iconart was great. I ordered my icon and they contacted me right away with instructions on how to pay and what to expect. They were upfront that there might be delays due to the war and the package was delivered before the estimated delivery. Marianna was great to work with and was always willing to answer any questions via email. I highly recommend and would order from here again!

A unique place, where the tradition of Byzantine art meets modernity, a place of beauty and harmony.

I am a great fan of the Ukranian artists whose items are sold on the iconart webside/gallery. Last year I was privileged to organise an exhibition around easter with the art from this community in Kuopio, Eastern Finland. When the tragic war started in February this year, the artits and the gallery rose into my heart along other things going on in Ukraine. For a small support I ordered a beautiful, simple canvas icon of Khrystyna Yatzyniak's Nativity. The gallery stuff kindly and understandibly answered that there would be difficultues in posting subjects at the moment. For my great joy, they managed, and finally I got my beautiful icon after several weeks in a perfect condition. It has a very special value in my home and heart. Slava Ukraini!

In my experience, it's somewhat rare to find high quality contemporary sacred art. I know of no other place like ICONART where such beautiful, unique, and inspiring sacred art is available. I am particularly moved that I was able to buy a work and have it sent to me while Ukraine is in the midst of a horrific war. The dedication and love of the people at ICONART is a profound gift. More than a gallery, ICONART seems to me to be truly a work of the Spirit.

The Icon Art Gallery is a beautiful expression of faithfulness, art, and holiness. I ordered two icons, and both are astonishingly beautiful, drawing me and holding me there in a place of prayer. The curator was responsive and informative, and she managed to ship them promptly to me in the US from Lviv at a reasonable rate, even as the cruel war disrupted traditional shipping channels. If you're considering purchasing one of these icons, know your purchase will be worth every penny, and it will uplift these brilliant artists in an uncertain time. I will keep my eye on this website in the months to come; I look forward to ordering a third someday soon. - MDW
