Zara Edwards
Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Zara Rodriguez Edwards began painting at a young age. With an innate ability that was encouraged by an equally artistic mother, it was not until about five years ago that painting and developing as an artist became a seriously focus. Finding inspiration in her bi-cultural background, a mixture of British and Spanish parents, it is this rich, contrasting and diverse merging of cultures and life experiences that fuel her creative process.
Inclined to satisfy a need for visual and aesthetic stimulation, her depictions are vivid, colorful and at times intricate compositions; decorative and playful metaphors that are centered around the inner exploration of emotions, desires, basic human needs and the urban stages in which such themes typically occur in.
An American for over ten years, living in the South has in itself added a further source of inspiration. Whether it is mundane subject matters, objects extracted from our daily lives or more profound themes, her work connects her intimately with each piece, enabling her to share a part of her unique vision with others.
