Over the years I have painted icon paintings in the ancient medium of egg tempera and 24ct. gold and have created a short film “Icon Paintings By Elena Vladimir Baranoff” featuring three icons painted by me which are housed in prominent collections in America.

Our Lady of Vladimir Icon

Our Lady of Vladimir is one of the treasures of ancient painting of Byzantine iconography. The Holy Virgin is depicted in the moment when the baby Jesus is leaning towards her cheek and embracing her by the neck with the left hand. Full of motherly tenderness and sorrow foreseeing his future the Holy Mother of God bends toward the Christ child. The icon awakens the most deep and kind feelings.

Saint John The Baptist is a traditional icon of the ancient Russian style of icon painting depicting the figure of Saint John centrally positioned and in full length, surrounded by miniature scenes from the life of the Saint, forming a harmonious composition.

Holy Trinity Icon

Holy Trinity is one of the most revered and beloved holy icons in the history of Orthodox Christianity in Russia. The icon is the creation of 15^th century Russian icon painter Andrei Rublev, and is the symbol of spiritual unity, love and peace.
