STUDIO ZLK

As a writer, musician and artist, Zoya recently completed her senior thesis, People-Shaped; marking her first ever large-scale exhibition.

Zoya paints from life, reference, memory and imagination. In her most recent work she uses the human form to describe movement and energy on large scale canvases. The heavily layered images create a sense of depth as well as gesture. Her use of canvas reorientation obscures and abstracts initial sketches, making room for new possibilities. Focusing more on content and image than narrative, she is able to communicate animation in an inanimate form. Her earlier work explores pattern, mark making and abstraction while learning to develop her studio practice as an artist.

Zoya writes from experience, on opinion and supposedly as a form of catharsis. To peruse her ponderings, visit her Substack. Zoya uses piano as a means of reflection, rumination and rehabilitation (often after writing or painting).
