« I live to create and quickly enter a meditative zone while creating. Being in this zone is serene, peaceful and tranquil. It is what I imagine spiritual enlightenment to be. And so the creative process is food for my soul. »
Zaan Claassens is an established artist from Canada whose works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions internationally. Growing up in a home surrounded by arts and crafts, she quickly discovered her own artistic practice and now works across painting, photography, and sculpture, inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Her style is characterized by great technical skill and attention to light, whether through oil paintings of water reflections or introspective self portraits.
