Achi Monastery

Status: in private collection Price: n/a SIze: 30 x 20 cm Technique: mixed media Description: This piece is a personal reinterpretation of the Virgin Mary icon from Achi Monastery in Georgia—an image the artist could not photograph but instead chose to preserve through drawing. The composition remains faithful to the medieval Georgian icon tradition, with elongated, solemn features and deep, contemplative eyes. The Virgin’s gaze carries a quiet sorrow, while the Christ Child, dressed in golden robes, maintains the formal, frontal posture characteristic of ancient religious art. A dark background accentuates the figures, evoking the aged patina of ancient frescoes. The inscription in Georgian further roots the piece in its historical and cultural context, making it both a tribute and a personal act of artistic devotion.
