Welcome

Hello, I am a Peruvian-American iconographer and calligrapher, with an extensive professional background in design. For the last few years I have been training under Greek Orthodox world-renowned iconographer George Kordis, and pursuing an MA in Sacred Arts at Pontifex University. I belong to the Melkite Greek Catholic Church.

“Of old, God the incorporeal and formless was never depicted, but now that God has been seen in the flesh, i depict what i have seen of God.

I do not venerate matter, I venerate the fashioner of matter who became matter for my sake and who through matter worked my salvation.”

— St. John of Damascus
