My imagination is essential to develop creative and innovative works that positively interact with the viewer’s gaze. My work is orderly and methodical. I supervise the good execution and composition, I incorporate scientific themes, and I make the painting a passable space for the spectator. As a result, I create images with precision, with astonishing density and visually captivating depth. Art professionals have cataloged my work as; of unique creativity and extraordinary aesthetics.

My works seek to be a source of provocation that encourages the viewer to participate and turns him into a creative artist during his tour of the stage and while the images recorded on his retina last.”

“My work is about Gender Equality, Woman’s Empowerment In our society it has been far too easy for people to ignore these issues. That cannot and must not continue. I have dedicated my work to keep these issues in the public eye in the hope that attitudes will continue to improve. My work is necessary and I will keep painting until it no longer is. Each painting concerns a particular issue in a cohesive body of work. I want my paintings to say something, to visually promote gender equality and women’s empowerment."

Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection" (Haruki Murakami,

Wasabi is a Japanese term that refers to an aesthetic view of the world. Literally, it would be ‘the beauty of imperfection,’ so it is usually sought in natural elements and those with an incomplete or impermanent character.

Instead of seeking perfect symmetry, one seeks asymmetry, simplicity, and naturalness. Applied to everyday life, this Japanese concept encourages us to seek beauty in life's imperfections, quietly accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay and the uniqueness that represents us.

This Japanese term in the age of globalization lends itself well to describing the work of Mumzy and Zoooooz Atelier. Painting, using fractals and color as a propagator of existential phenomena. The essentiality of these works of art lies in the artists' intentions of honesty and truthfulness. Imperfection is a praise of the real, nature as sincere inspiration, and introspection as a means to an eternal end.

Art is life, imperfect and whirling. Light as birth, powerful and revelatory. In the artists' paintings, the story of the journey to the center of the world is a journey to our earth."

My photographs reflect my moods and the life around me, be they private or general. Even though it is difficult today to create something new, still every artist has something unique only to him. I hope my art, or at least my eye, is unique only to myself.”
