For the past 25 years, Wayne has studied iconography and developed his skills by learning intently under the instruction of various teachers.
He was strongly drawn to the spiritual path of iconography and the challenge to portray scriptural and spiritual truth with color, line, form and symbol. Wayne discovered iconography in the 1980s through his study of the early Christian Church. By adolescence he was painting in the impressionistic style in oil inspired by Monet and Renoir. Wayne Hajos, a self-taught artist, remembers drawing and studying art at a very young age.

#ICONOGRAPHER BOSTON PORTABLE#
I follow the Byzantine style faithfully and make the portable icons with the traditional method (wood preparation, egg-white, gold). I am a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece and I have taken part in hagiography exhibitions. In 2017, the inter-parliamentary Orthodox assembly in an icon painting competition on “THE RENEWAL OF JESUS” chose me and some other hagiographers to create the new icon. For the last 10 years I have been working alone and my works are in the historic monastery of Hosios Loukas, churches and monasteries in Athens,Viotia, Chalkida and the Greek church in Oslo, Norway. Later we worked together for years in various temples. Then I was taught by the painter and hagiographer Iraklis Tsagas. Finishing my military service in 1991 I attended private schools and painting workshops.
