Zanara Art&Books

Zanara Art&Books Zanara Art creates books inspired by ancient wisdom, symbolic images and quirky looking characters. I love to tell stories and dream of the impossible.

My dream is to create beautiful images, sometimes accompanied by texts. I dream while I create, using lines, colors and lots of imagination. I love to be able to sink into the Cosmic sounds that stream through space every second, to hang on the stories and ride with them to the end of the Galaxy and then back here, then splash all the impressions in a form, in color on the paper- to share, to fee

l , to remember. And the best part is, these dreams will never die! This is the magic, art is endless, dead-less and never ending-all my dreams will stay alive forever because the creative process is always transforming, rich and infinite. Life without art and creativity is life without purpose and joy. Art is MY life. www.zanaraart.com

Thank you for visiting my dreams in colour!:)

The Strength: the Beauty and the Beast, the Woman and the Primitive, the Human and the Animal within. She appears to be gentle and almost fragile and yet she is closing the animal’ mouth. Her eyes are locked with the lion’s one. Her gentle but firm posture shows how confident she is. She does not recognise the beast but rather see the shadow self that is about to be accepted and embraced....

Standing in a victorious posture, the boldface is the master that holds the reins of his own life. The Sphinxes are the powers taking the chariot into the unknown going in two different directions. It is the dance of the white and black, the left and right and the lead and the iron – the creation of the new, the creation of the Philosopher stone....

Sitting on a throne, all dressed in red, wearing a crown, but he is no King or Tsar. His right hand has three of its fingers crossed, ready to give blessings. In his left hand, he holds a golden sceptre, a symbol of power. He is the earthly element, he is also the voice of your body-wisdom, and he is the wise old man and your deep inner intuitive all-knowing knowledge at the same time....

The answers lie between the left and right, between the black and white, between the shadow and the light.Between Boaz and Jachin, the power elements of the unseen, a Woman sitting at the open doors of the gardens of abundance.

Artwork by zanara The wind woke her. Tanya remembered the washing outside! She ran out half-naked, in only a nightdress. The cold pierced her and the first drops dug into her.

I travel with this woman on the tube every day. She is huge and dark. With the rounded belly and sagging breasts of a mother of many. With long skirts spread over the floor. Her powerful thighs are outlined beneath. No shoes are visible but I can somehow guess that she is barefoot. Her arms are hanging to the sides, lifeless....

The summer was in full swing. We had been wandering along the sea for several months. Wanton, young and carefree. It was lovely and golden, and we were small, inexperienced gods playing at being people. Tonight we were going to remain here, at the beach where it was sheltered and quiet. We had all gotten used to setting our bivouac quickly and in all conditions....

There is, somewhere out there, a type of bliss. The leaves expecting rain. The flying geese, the roving ships in shoreless seas, the running living, chattering clouds of words and thoughts that gird the infinite outer space. The vacillation of the air and the unseen noise that pierces the Universe. The whisper of the World and the rhythmic mantra of God....
