KONSTANTINOPLE
Elias Damianakis Ecclesiastic Collaborations
|
In the last 30 years, Elias Damianakis has had the great fortune to collaborate on many ecclesiastic masterpieces throughout the USA and Europe. In the true Orthodox expression of faith, Elias collaborates with other sacred arts fabricators from across the world to share in this vision of faith, producing the world's most exquisite ecclesiastic collaboration available.
KONSTANTINOPLE was established in December 2003 as a resource for ecclesiastic artists, setting to offer a prayer of collaborative Sacred Art. My studio hosts a number of commissioned works and reviews requests for new commissions upon receipt. This site is an ongoing project and manifestation of faith expressed in an Orthodox, Byzantine Eastern phronema. I therefore look forward to any suggestions that you may have or interest in collaborating. Contact: Elias Damianakis (Personal Website) Email archonelias@gmail.com Cell: 727-372-0711 |
