The Icons medallion — Medusa carved in ivory

ICONS

One fictional species, hand drawn through six centuries of art history — and hung here, on the gallery wall, for the collectors who earn it.

Room I · The premise

Art history, retold as original portraits.

Every Icon is a portrait of a moment in human art. David's Napoleon. Magritte's veiled lovers. Vermeer's pearl girl. Lichtenstein's blonde on the phone. Tretchikoff's green lady.

The same fictional species, painted across six centuries, four continents, and the crypto native present.

A collection built as an art history rather than an average PFP drop. Finished before it was shown to anyone.
