Christina Saj (/saɪ/; Ukrainian: Христина Сай; born 1967) is a Ukrainian American artist living and working in New Jersey.[1] She is best known for her paintings bridging traditional Byzantine iconography and contemporary art.[2] She has created icons in the modern vernacular, that are neither pastiche, nor nostalgic reference, but rather a meant religious symbol.[3]
