Vladimir Grygorenko | Master Iconographer

With over 35 years of experience in traditional byzantine iconography, I've dedicated my life's work to creating beautiful murals that capture essence of holiness. Icons opened my eyes to Christianity— so I consider my iconography to be a church service rather than an occupation. Through my art, I help parishes create sacred spaces for their members.

Iconography is the art of arts, and an icon is more a work of art than of craftsmanship. The icon is the revelation of the Kingdom of Heaven in our material world. There is a connection and a difference between painting and iconography. A good painter seeks the truth about the created world; an iconographer shows the truth about the Creator.

Testimonials

One of the greatest joys of my life is to serve the divine liturgy at St Seraphim Cathedral, where I am surrounded by the beautiful frescos painted by our iconographer, Subdeacon Vladimir Grygorenko.

Vladimir has been very easy to work with. We knew from our first meeting that we could be very straightforward with him, even as he was very frank and straightforward with us. He has taught us a great deal and has listened to our concerns.
