Nataliia Salo

Nataliia Salo is a iconographer and researcher based in Lviv, Ukraine. Her work is a bridge betwwen centeries-old Byzantine traditions and modern academic art.Specialized in the delicate technique of egg tempera, she creates her pieces using only natural pigments and 24K gold leaf on specially preparedlime wood panels.
Drawing on a profound knowledge of theology and art history, Nataliia touches the very source of tradition, seeking to reveal it anew. By bringing ancient roots into a contemporary context, she ensures the continuity of this sacred lineage. Each of her works is both an exploration of authenticity and a fresh, individual perception.
