👩🎨 Instructor – Fotini Vogiatzaki
We are proud to present Fotini Vogiatzaki, a dedicated iconographer with deep respect for the Byzantine artistic tradition.
Born in Heraklion, Crete, into an artistic family, she studied under Manolis Stylianakis and painter Thalassinos, while also training alongside established Cretan artists. She has worked on church restorations, frescoes, and iconography projects across Crete, with works adorning churches and private chapels.
Her art has been exhibited in the United States (New York, Brooklyn, Manhattan), and she has received a proposal to teach Byzantine iconography at a University of Art in Montana, reflecting the international recognition of her work.
For Fotini Vogiatzaki, iconography is not merely art—it is spiritual exploration and the continuation of a living tradition.
At Growth Hub, we create a space where learning meets inspiration and tradition meets contemporary creativity.
