Madonna and Child

Description

This hand-painted icon depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, their faces turned gently toward one another. A radiant gold background, patterned robes, and a deep green border frame the finely detailed figures. Its devotional imagery and rich colors bring a quiet sense of reverence to a home altar, reading nook, or gallery wall.

Alla Ditla

I create hand-painted icons, expressive floral still lifes, and colorful landscapes. Through careful detail and rich color, I bring a sense of reverence, calm, and wonder into everyday spaces.
