Zoriana was born in Ukraine and currently lives and works in Chicago. She studied art, design and new media and received her Bachelors of Art at the Columbia College Chicago. Zoriana also studied fine-art, design and photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "With abstract there is no model to imitate. Im free to expand my inner creativity beyond the norm and pioneer new ways of self-_expression through shape and form exploration and digital manipulation.I feel particularly influenced by metaphysical painting and surrealism. I consider myself basically a visual artist that uses the computer to produce artworks, the computer for me is a great medium to create, I wouldnt change it since it allows me to work with hardly any limits. My creative process doesnt follow easy guidelines, every new artwork is a new challenge for me." Her work which is included in many private collections, features a variety of media and subject matter. She feels particularly influenced by metaphysical drawings of M.C. Escher, designs of C.R. Mackintosh, and an old Japanese paintings, calligraphy, and the philosophies of Buddhism, Tao, and Zen. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy it.
