Uliana Krekhovets
Born in 1987, in Lviv, Ukraine. Artist, icon painter, designer, art manager, coordinator of art projects of the development department of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU), teacher of the Icon Painting School "Radruzh" of the UCU. She graduated from the Lviv National Academy of Arts with a degree in "Design" (2011) and the "Radruzh" Icon Painting School at the Ukrainian Catholic University (2013). In her works, she uses natural wood, levkas, yolk tempera, organic and mineral pigments, as well as gilding and silvering techniques. By combining these traditional materials with modern ones, she imitates and at the same time interprets the synthesis of ancient and modern Ukrainian iconography. A special place in her work is dedicated to the Ukrainian folk icon on glass, which is for the artist an object of research, a means of continuing the tradition and a field for her own interpretation. Also she is the author of the series of gift icons on glass - "My_Dear_God". Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, she uses the technique of a quick naive sketch to document war crimes and depict the everyday life of Ukrainians in the author's project "WAR. SKETCHES. The sacredness of everyday life." The works are stored in churches and private collections in Ukraine, European countries, as well as in the centers of universal churches in the Vatican and Istanbul; in the USA, Canada, England and Australia. Lives and works in Lviv.

My family and I were thrilled to come across Iconart Gallery and the work of Nataliya Sydoruk. Sydoruk's piece, "Christ in the tomb" is a beautiful addition to our home altar and a work we will be honored to share with others in the coming years. Gallery Director Marianna Baran was a pleasure to work with as well. We look forward to seeing more of the beautiful work represented through their collection.

Perfect service, very human and very trustworthy. Just the way it's supposed to be - letting art connect us throughout the world regardless of what's happening. Letting the art speak for itself - with deep love.

I had such a great experience with this gallery. They were really kind and encouraging. I bought the icon as a gift for my stepmother in England. When the icon arrived, she said the packaging had been wrapped on it with extraordinary care. You have bought pictures from a variety of different artists, and you could not hope for a better working relationship than with Icon-Art. Meanwhile, in terms of the Icon itself, I cannot describe how happy I was to purchase it as a gift. My stepmother wrote often about how beautiful the icon is. One time she wrote 'The thing that's helped me the most, and that is a daily delight, is the Mary Magdalen. She really hit my heart and my senses, and she is such a daily renewal.' I would like to return the thanks which my stepmother gave to me to the art gallery and to the artist. As soon as I can afford it, I hope to buy another icon.

Na każdym etapie towarzyszyła jej uprzejmość ze strony Galerii oraz dbałość o bezpieczną, szybką i niedrogą dostawę cennej i pięknej ikony "Dzieciństwo Jezusa Chrystusa" Kateryny Kuziv. Ikona jest już na miejscu, możemy wraz z rodziną modlić się przed nią, także o upragniony pokój w Ukrainie.

I treasure the two icons I have purchased from IconArt, a Nativity and an image of St. Nicholas. The staff was wonderfully attentive, and the whole process of payment and mailing was professional and efficient. It does not cease to amaze me that these treasures have come to me from a war-torn country, with all the appropriate documentation! I have now shared both of these icons with my church community in the U.S. The iconographers' work is a gift to us all.

DIe Iconart-Gallerie bietet wunderbare Kunstwerke an, die etwas Besonderes sind. Wir durften einige Werke und auch Künstler im Rahmen einer Ausstellung in Bonn direkt sehen, die Werke wurden auch in Stuttgart und Bamberg ausgestellt. Die Absprachen über die Lieferung gekaufter Werke mit Marianna Baran waren schnell und problemlos - zum Teil sind sie noch in Ausstellungen unterwegs. Es ist bewundernswert, wie die Gallerie in diesen schwierigen Zeiten ihre Arbeit weiterführt, und ein Privileg, daran teilhaben zu können.

Ich habe die Galerie im Internet entdeckt und war sofort fasziniert. Moderne sakrale Kunst in dieser Form und Qualität habe ich so noch nirgendwo angeboten gesehen. Ich bin sehr glücklich über den Kauf meines Kunstwerks. Alles verlief absolut reibungslos und viel schneller als ich dachte. Ich wünsche dieser Galerie viele neue Kunden, dass diese phantastischen ukrainischen Künstler weltweit bekannt werden. Olaf, Rostock/ Deutschland

Нарешті і я побачила це ДИВО! Вражена і вдячна пану Роману Василику та організаторам виставки! Я надзвичайно шаную нашого незабутнього Патріарха Йосифа Сліпого, вважаю незрівнянною його силу духу, стійкість і вірність Церкві, Богові та Україні. Не одну статтю про Патріарха написала, не одну академію йому присвятили з рамени Ліги Українських Жінок... А тут - таке неймовірно величне й талановите вшанування нашого Велета Духу! Це щось надзвичайне! Окрім таланту відчувається співпережиття митця із самим Йосифом Сліпим. Щиро дякую пану професору та бажаю гідної винагороди від Господа Бога!

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!

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
