About the Artist

Vanessa El Hatchity

As a devoted iconographer, I create sacred Byzantine Christian icons following the ancient traditions passed down through centuries of faith and artistic mastery.

Each icon is more than art—it is a window to the divine, created through prayer, meditation, and the careful application of traditional techniques using natural pigments and gold leaf.

My work honors the rich heritage of Eastern Christian iconography while bringing these timeless images to modern believers seeking to deepen their spiritual connection.

"Every icon I create is painted with prayer, asking for God's blessing upon the work and those who will venerate it."
