Diamantis Cassis, one of America's principal Byzantine Iconographers, was born in Galaxidion, Greece.
Cassis produces iconography in the traditional Byzantine style in painted icons ranging from sets for the iconostasia of churches to single panels of all sizes. In addition to painted icons, Cassis specializes in hand-tooled metal icons in copper and brass. These metal icons, exhibiting intricate detail in low relief, are used as panel icons as well as being incorporated into processional and blessing crosses and liturgical banners.
