The Prosopon School of Iconography was founded in the United States 15 years ago by a painter born in Russia, Vladislav Andreyev. It operates with the blessing of the Hierarchy of the Orthodox Church in America. A characteristic feature of the school's style of icon painting is a combination of the best Russian and Byzantine traditions. When working on icons the school uses only natural colors and materials.
