Zia Art

Step into the world of creativity of my collection of contemporary art! From elegant images of still life compositions and breathtaking landscapes to whimsical pieces of art that combine realistic with surrealistic, with each piece designed to stir your soul and elevate your space.

"Zia’s works spell out the disillusionment with late 19th/early 20th century dreams of a mechanically powered utopia, ruled by cause and effect, dreams whose promise is no longer relevant in our soft and non-linear age of communication."

Max Rozenoer, The Arch, April 2003

"His technical proficiency, especially when the image calls for precise realism, causes one to marvel, and his sense of humor is often keen."

Daniel Grant, The Berkshire Eagle, December 13, 1993

"Zia’s artwork has complex philosophical meaning and is done in an amazing technique."

Y. Dashevsky, Member of the Art Union, USSR, 1989

Contemporary Composition

There is an indecipherable magic in this work and other artwork created by this artist. You want to analyze them closely and for a long time. And there is a feeling that behind a foreground there are many other hidden surfaces that constitute a living organism which, at its own will, wishes to remain in the shadows for the time being.

Flat Contemporary Still Life

This new artistic psychedelic opus immerses the viewer in the phantasmagoria of objects. And when you look at them, you realize they are real and full of their own conscientious life. And each rivet of the cauldron, dressed in a cuirass, is not accidental. And that the Hercules-beetle knows exactly that it will crawl with no difficulties into the space allotted to it. And the berries are ready to roll closer to the leather pear because they feel cozy next to it, And this world that we see in the new work of the Master shows us the true balance of existence, much more reliable than the one in which live.

Sonata

The incomprehensible depth of parallel worlds. And the planets' notes that broke out of the Heavenly keyboard of the Creator and on their sails fly away under the cosmic wind, filling the Universe.

Expulsion from the Garden of Eden

• Acrylic on canvas • Size: 30in x 40in • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

The inspiration for this piece has come from the picture titled the “Swing” by the 18th century French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard who depicted a woman on the swing and her lover who is lying on the grass and admiring her. A gardener is pushing the swing. I have blended the two figures, the lover and the gardener, into one by transforming the swing into a whimsical teapot.

Metaphysical Still life

If you place a candle in front of a mirror, its reflection will appear in the mirror. But if you somehow create a candle reflection in the mirror, then in order not to violate the laws of physics, the candle will have to appear in front of the mirror from emptiness.

Rattenfanger von Hameln

• Acrylic on canvas • Size: 35in x 40in • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

"I recently had the pleasure of discovering your enchanting artwork Rattenfänger von Hameln on site, and I was immediately captivated by its imaginative composition and masterful storytelling.

What makes Rattenfänger von Hameln so compelling is its dreamlike narrative, infused with a blend of whimsy and surrealism. The richly detailed setting, paired with musical instruments and symbolic elements, creates an immersive world that feels both nostalgic and otherworldly. The warm palette and fine textures breathe life into the composition, showcasing your exceptional skill in blending the classic and the contemporary.

We believe Rattenfänger von Hameln would be a standout addition to this exhibition, offering viewers a chance to be transported into its magical realm."

Homer or Blind Game

• Acrylic on canvas • Size: 30in x 40in • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

The picture depicts Homer, the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, who reportedly was blind. He is playing the game of the blindfold chess. In this game the players usually do not see the positions of the pieces and do not touch them but maintain a mental picture of the game and have the intermediary move the pieces and relay the moves. Not being able to see the game board and the time on sand timer, Homer is playing the blind form chess with the time which is his main opponent. He is keeping the mental picture of the present position and is thinking about his next move.

La Venus Del Espejo

• Acrylic on canvas • Size: 30in x 30in • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

The picture “La Venus Del Espejo” depicts two women. One is young and the other one is her reflection in the future. The young woman is gazing at herself from the present into the future. The older woman in the mirror is gazing at herself in the past. The two images gradually, day by day, are getting closer and the distance between them is getting shorter.

Morning Rush

• Acrylic on canvas • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

•This picture was inspired by our ever fast moving life with people always being in a hurry. Morning Rush depicts the morning when everyone and everything, including the objects in the still life, are in a rush . The coffee is spilling from the cup and from the open zipper of the coffee pot, the wine is overflowing the wine glass, the teaspoon and the fork and flying in the air and the pastries are jumping on the plate. I decided to stop the moment and to force the viewer to ponder it.

Chronology of Crucifixion

There is another one that circulates every Easter. Jesus’ last word from the cross is τετέλεσται (tetelestai), “It is finished” (John 19:30). Pretty much all Bibles translate it that way or something pretty similar. The word is a form of τελέω (teleō), “to finish.” But some people claim that τετέλεσται was often written on ancient receipts or debts with the meaning “paid in full,” or “the debt is finished.” So, if that is the case, then Jesus cried out “paid in full,” referring to the debt of sin that is owed to God, now paid off by the cross.

Two Worlds

• Acrylic on canvas • Size: 30in x 40in • Prints are available • Limited edition of 30

There are two worlds in the picture: one is real and the the other one is reflected in your consciousness. Sometimes it is impossible to distinguish one from another. At times these images change places and create parallel worlds which makes you question where you are and whether you live in one or another and why.

Victor Pelevin’s quote:

“Human! Do you like the world around you? Do you want to live among normal people? You have to create that world around you. Be the way you want others to be! Only do not pretend to live that way for five minutes, really do, do not deceive yourself or others. The world will have no choice but follow your example.

Untrapped Time

The time is set free. It freed itself from the cage. You are not controlled by the time anymore. You are doing whatever you want: enjoying yourself and exploring the possibilities with no worry in the world. But, just like a bird raised in captivity cannot enjoy its freedom far fly far away from its cage even when it is broken, are not able to free yourself completely from the time.

People have been playing chess for over 1,500 years. This ancient game requires time and logical thinking and includes the elements of art. In this game, the players took a break, and the cat walked in on the game, scattered the pieces and completed the game. The defeated king and the victorious cat are lying on the chess board.

Still Life from Rusty Metal

Exquisitely fine artwork with color. And it reminds of Vivaldi's Seasons. On the left you can see spring with a blue sky and young growth, and in the center there is summer towering over everything, like life itself. Further to the left there are the fading yellow colors of autumn. These are all vessels filled with warmth to varying degrees. And they stand unbowed against the background of flashes of cold winter. And the pomegranate, as a symbol of undefeated existence in contrast to the unborn seeds of the barred womb of evil.

Attraction To The Light

This piece has been inspired by the story titled the Moths and the Flame (Conference of the Birds). Three moths were sent by their mentor to learn the truth about the candlelight. Two of the moths observed the flame of the candle from a safe distance and reported their observations. The mentor said that they failed to understand how the candle shines. The third moth flew very close to the light and was engulfed by it. He was glowing like a fierce translucent light having become one with the candlelight. The mentor knew that the third moth was the one who was able to find the truth about the light that eluded the mind of the two other moths.
