Haile Maskel is an Ethiopian Orthodox iconographer based in London, UK, whose work is rooted in the ancient traditions of Tewahedo Christian art. With a career that began in 1995, Haile has dedicated his life to preserving and revitalizing the spiritual language of Ethiopian iconography. His hand-painted works draw from centuries-old techniques while embracing a personal, contemporary vision that resonates with both devotional and artistic audiences.
Haile’s icons—depicting saints, angels, and scenes from Scripture—have been exhibited in sacred spaces, galleries, and private collections. Through his studio Konjo Arts, he also produces fine art prints, wearable sacred art, and educational materials to share the depth and beauty of his heritage with global audiences.
Deeply inspired by prayer, liturgy, and the vibrant palette of traditional Ethiopian manuscripts, Haile continues to create, teach, and collaborate, sharing the power of sacred art as a living expression of faith.
