Kyriakos Kosova, is a multi-disciplined Master of Byzantine Iconography and visual arts. Having spent the last 25 years studying under other masters such as Christos Papanikolau, as well as many years practicing and working within Orthodox Churches and Monasteries in Greece, Albania & Italy, Kyriakos has pulled together a deep, rich and spiritual understanding of the iconographic tradition.
Kyriakos see’s his work not only as visual art, but as a true expression of rich Orthodox Theology. Encoded within each icon is deep complexity and symbolism that comes from the wellspring of Holy Tradition. As a result of his many years of experience & drive to continue increasing his skill, Kyriakos has become masterful in his execution of high quality frescos and portable icons. His skill sets include painting/writing with egg tempera, acrylic paints, the application of gold leaf gilding, etching in stone, wood burning and more.
Together with his wife Evis, and partner in Iconography Dimitrios Ginos, Kyriakos has formed Otrigrammatos, a studio dedicated to Ecclesiastical arts and education. The Otrigammatos team has completed many projects throughout the Orthodox world and have educated many concerning the beautiful meaning found within this sacred art
Now, with the growth of Orthodoxy in America, Kyriakos has set his sights on supporting the development of the faith within the US using his God given talents. Iconography is evangelical as well as a tool that teaches theological truths. Its meanings and insights enrich our parishes, homes and our lives. As Orthodoxy continues to grow, the need for beautiful iconography within parish temples will be paramount.
Theophany Works has partnered with Kyriakos and his team, and we are eagerly seeking projects that will employ their skills. If you or your parish have needs on a large scale (or even smaller scale) and desire the highest quality of work accomplished, remember us! Reach out and we can help facilitate such a project!
For all of us, Iconography holds a special place within our lives, aiding us in our collective journey to communion between God and man. Because of this, Kyriakos and Theophany Works feel greatly blessed to offer our combined talents for the sake of Christ, His Church & for the Glory of God!
