Summary/Abstract: There is not much information about Aleksy Athanasius’s life and his works. All that we know by now is that he is from Naousa (Greece) and that he was both working on murals and icons. Some of his works are dated and bare his signature. From the time of 1845–1850 Aleksy Athanasius has lived in the village Gorni Voden (today’s district of Assenovgrad). In 1857 Aleksy Athanasius moves along with his family in Assenovgrad. A big part of his creative period is related to parts of the city that he had lived in and the villages of the Rhodope Mountains. Aleksy Athanasius is one well educated painter, who has mastered the techniques of painting of his time. His works are rich in color and his iconographic schemas can be recognized from their good composition and excellent knowledge of biblical and gospel topic.
