Christ Pantocrator Icon, Elias Icons

Welcome to Elias Icons, a Christian religious arts studio specialising in Byzantine Christian iconography

based in Cheltenham, in the United Kingdom.  


I am an English iconographer who takes commissions for panel icons and wall paintings, general religious paintings  and some restoration work, including religious statues.


Much of my work is in the Holy Land, working for various churches there.



Prices for a panel icon range from about £450 upwards. All the photos on this site are of my work.
