“The Virgin and Child” – Krasimir Tashev | Original Icon on Wood

We are pleased to present “The Virgin and Child”, an original icon by Pleven artist Krasimir Tashev dedicated to one of the most revered and deeply moving images in Christian tradition.

At the centre is the eternal bond between mother and child, portrayed through the figures of the Mother of God and the Christ Child. The Virgin's face conveys tenderness and humility, but also the quiet inner strength that has made her an enduring symbol of maternal love and protection.

The Christ Child is shown in a gesture of blessing—a detail of profound spiritual meaning that reaches beyond the immediate closeness of mother and child towards the Christian message of faith, hope and salvation.

Its wooden support connects the icon with the centuries-old tradition of Orthodox icon painting. The natural material gives the work warmth and physical presence in harmony with the spiritual content of the image.

“The Virgin and Child” has significance beyond decorative value. For a believer, an icon is a sacred image associated with prayer, spiritual support and a sense of protection. The Virgin is traditionally connected with mercy, maternal care and hope in difficult times.

At 30 × 40 cm, the icon is suited to a special place in the home. It can also be a deeply personal gift for a baptism, wedding, new home, anniversary or another important occasion where the gift carries spiritual as well as material value.

For admirers of contemporary Bulgarian icon painting, the work offers an opportunity to own an original icon by Krasimir Tashev, created on a traditional wooden support and devoted to one of the most significant images in Christian art.
