The Neo – Coptic style of iconography originates in Egypt. There are also many other traditions – Russian, Greek , Eastern, Byzantine.
At present I am studying the Neo-coptic style. I find the simplicity and purity of the line and form both accessible and appealing as It contains a mix of ancient iconography and the freshness of modern art.
I was introduced into this art form from Dr. Stephane Rene who studied for many years under Professor Isaac Fanous, the father of the Neo – Coptic school of iconography.
