BIO
ZsOKA is a figurative mixed-media artist, using STEEL as her canvas. Her paintings are focusing on analyzing the human mind and body connection in the form of female figures. These works raise awareness of the importance of one's mental health and well being.
Her work provokes with the juxtaposition of peace and conflict that lies within each art piece.
Each painting is an invitation to the viewer for a deep self-discovery, soul search and acceptance without judgement.
ZsOKA (b.1986, Jászberény, Hungary) is living and creating in Toronto, ON. Canada.
She grew up in a small town Jászdózsa, Hungary. Thanks to her mother (Irén Lukácsiné Forgács) who worked as an art and drama teacher at her local school, she was drawn to create from a very early age. She graduated from Kando Kalman School for the Arts and earned her diploma as a ceramist.
After years of working and traveling in Europe she moved to Toronto, Canada in 2012.
This is where her journey started to paint on Steel.
Her art pieces have been published in several Art Magazines from the year of 2023 and now actively participating in group shows and other art related events in GTA and Hungary.
ARTIST STATEMENT
STEEL is my passion. I became familiar with this material through my time in the construction industry.
Using steel as my canvas requires a great deal of planning and preparation before painting on this surface. With the aid of power tools and different attachments, I add textures, patterns and depth to the bare steel surface. Then I apply different mediums such as graffiti paint, markers, oil, ink, pencil, pigments and chalk. With this technique the end result comes alive. From different angles and light sources, the viewer can discover new details in the paintings.
My inspiration comes from my deep interest in self-help, neuroscience and quantum science.
The Enigma series is a representation of self discovery, soul searching and self-development. It is a journal without words. The steel is my notebook, the female figure and the negative space around it is the journal entry.
