The Icon Factory is more than just art. It goes beyond drawings and paintings; it's a multifaceted platform that integrates commercial products as tools for conveying messages and sharing knowledge. At the same time, it sparks curiosity, offering an educational experience that encourages self-discovery.
Aga Szot, the visionary co-founder and creative director of The Icon Project, played a pivotal role in establishing The Icon Factory. Her leadership and artistic expertise have fuelled its growth while she pursued her passion as a full-time artist. With impressive academic credentials, including MA and MS degrees from Krakow Pedagogical University, Aga brings a wealth of knowledge to her art and the projects she leads.
After 13 successful years of running The Icon Project, Aga expanded her vision by taking ownership of The Icon Factory. This new online concept aims to reach a broader audience, popularize Irish culture, and introduce a unique experience that is currently missing from the market. The products created during this time have revolutionized traditional Irish keepsakes, offering a fresh perspective.
Drawing from her decade of experience and dedication to full-time studio work, Aga has introduced this exciting venture to the world. Her goal is to celebrate the essence of Irish culture through The Icon Factory products, capturing the heart and soul of Ireland’s heritage. The Icon Factory stands apart from its competition by offering customers an authentic and creative shopping experience like no other.
Join us on this artistic journey as we explore new horizons, bringing innovation and inspiration to the world of Irish keepsakes. Together, we’ll curate a collection that leaves a lasting impression on every traveller. With The Icon Factory, they won’t just take home a souvenir but a cherished piece of Irish culture. We are excited to share this new chapter with you and invite you to experience the beauty and authenticity that The Icon Factory has to offer.
Aga Szot's journey in creating The Icon Factory, as well as the Aga Szot Studio live painting installation, where passersby can witness the artist at work, exemplifies her belief in the transformative power of art. For Aga, art is not merely self-expression but a way to forge connections and foster cultural appreciation. Through these projects, she continues to revolutionize the way people engage with visual art, making it an integral and enriching part of their lives.
