Byzantia Cloisonné Jewel-Tone Paints

Byzantia is a truly stunning collection of art media designed to reflect the opulence and splendour of the Byzantine Empire - a time when Art making was a devoutly sacred and revered ritual.

Byzantine Iconic images were originally designed as an aide to Christian worship - to inspire awe and adoration towards God. Highly ornate icons were decorated using the most costly of materials to demonstrate the intrinsic worth held by such images. Pigments for paint were made from crushed pure gemstones, and paintings, jewellery,

textiles, furniture and books, were all heavily adorned with precious jewels and intricate gold work.

Although the focus of human adoration changes, modern-day craft and textile artists regard their creative activities with the same deep passion as those from the Byzantine age. In capturing the spirit of this fascinating time in Art History, the Byzantia range will inspire you to create your own deeply personal iconic statements.
