Zaz explores the complexity of the human experience through drawings, sculptures, and found objects, inspired by personal reflection, observation, and collective insight.
He relies on basic color palettes, textures, forms repeating geometric forms to develop his compositions, pursuing a minimalist aesthetic while being guided by a practice of mindful action. His process is often sparked by a visceral reaction, word, or phrase that naturally evolves into a conceptual piece. At other times, the form itself takes shape first, guiding the development of the idea.
Central to his practice is mindfulness, where repetitive tasks—sometimes performed tens of thousands of times—become a meditative act that deepens the creative process. Beginning with sketches and diagrams, Zaz searches for balance and simplicity in form, shape, color, and line. These initial explorations can lead to scaled technical drawings or digital models, where he further refines each concept before moving on to prototyping and production.
