Artistically, I go by Ziak (zee-ak). I like to take street and architectural photography and I also enjoy to draw and paint. I prefer to do photography over art most of the time. I am a first-generation college student that is trying her best to figure out how and where to finish my degree. I also work and I love to spend time with animals and most importantly, myself and my mother.

I have been taking photos for a few years now and I just recently began painting. My work in visuals, I like to dedicate to relevant human topics, that could be considered political, social, environmental, cultural, perhaps controversial even, and much more.

Artist Statement of Work

Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):

Art and in the most recent decades photography as well, are and will always represent human's expressions and our complexity. I believe that art and photography hold a lot of power and I would like to use it to bring awareness and real thinking to some of the issues we are facing worldwide.
