I am working as a multidisciplinary artist and my work encompasses fine art, textile art, design, and an intensive exploration of themes such as creativity, nature, and personal growth. Through my projects, I invite people to explore the intersections of art, fashion, events, music, philosophy, and the wonders of everyday life. At the heart of my work is the concept of upcycling - the transformation of discarded materials into unique, handcrafted pieces. This approach not only reflects my commitment to sustainability but also challenges conventional notions of value and beauty. By breathing new life into neglected objects, I encourage a more mindful and imaginative approach to the world around us. My creative philosophy is expressed in my registered trademark #thezimonway, whose meaning also means "the path is the destination," alluding to the importance of harnessing one's creative potential and the importance of experimentation in life. Through exhibitions, workshops, events, coaching and my artistic work, I encourage people to value self-expression, environmental awareness and the transformative power of art.
Even as a young child, I developed a deep passion for creativity and artistic expression. I drew, crafted, and played imaginatively, finding joy in transforming everyday materials into unique creations. This innate creative urge became a cornerstone of my identity, and creativity itself helped me immensely throughout my life. Over the past twenty-five years, I have lived in various countries and cities, immersing myself in diverse cultures and artistic communities. These experiences have greatly enriched my life, and the diverse perspectives have allowed me to incorporate numerous artistic aspects and philosophies into my work. My artistic career spans a broad spectrum of disciplines, including fine art, fashion, tailoring, pattern design, sales, marketing, business administration, event design, music, philosophy, and coaching. Nature and a sense of wonder continue to inspire me today and reflect a deep connection with the world around me.
