Tempera

Welcome to the Tempera Collection of Konos'er Gallery!
Tempera is an ancient painting technique that combines pigments with an emulsion—traditionally egg yolk or casein—to create luminous, enduring artworks. Celebrated during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, this medium delivers unrivaled color purity, precise detail, and exceptional longevity, making it the perfect choice for icon painting and fine art.

Our collection features tempera works in various styles, from traditional religious subjects to modern interpretations. Each piece captivates with its richness and sophistication of execution.
