It would be difficult to classify Karfakis’s iconography within one of the three established styles of Byzantine art, for his personal spiritual elevation enabled him, through the morphological elements he absorbed from that tradition, to create — without resorting to risky innovations — an individual artistic offering that resonates deeply with the common religious sentiment.

Karfakis’s abilities in achieving the perfect rendering of age in his icons are truly boundless, to the point that they can deceive even the most specialized and discerning eye.
— Vasos Kountourides, Art Historian
