Hi, I’m Zion (19) an American/South African artist, living in the Netherlands.
For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by creativity. I learned to draw from my mother, and what started with redrawing my mother’s tattoos has developed itself into the works that I make now.
I have had a complicated childhood and I try to process my stories and feelings into my paintings: from the connection with my parents and siblings, my sense of self-worth to discovering my origins and heritage.
I like to incorporate symbolism in my paintings as someone would use metaphors in language, the images are often a slight surreal depiction of my feelings and/or experiences. I am now studying in artschool, where I am discovering my style and developing ways to create my visions with multiple media, however now my preference mostly lies in painting onto canvas.
