Cain venant de tuer son frère (2022) Painting by Zazen

Non-conformist, wild soul, but very sensitive. Born in 1967 in Vendée, Zazen spent a large part of his youth surrounded by women.

From the age of 7, he made his first cars in wood or cardboard, then discovered model making. allowed him to explore different worlds, including that of dioramas.

After studying construction and then graphic design, he studied the art of trompe l'oeil in Poitiers.
He created his graphics and web design company in 1999 while dabbling in painting on canvas, then abandoned his status as a business manager to devote himself to painting.

He lived in Alsace for a few years then in Dijon where he began working on different supports, wood, canvas on frames, stone, fabrics, plaster…
Fell in love with Burgundy, he decided to settle in a small village among the history and the vines.
He also embarked on the reconstruction of the heritage in stone using the methods of the ancients.

Since then, he has exhibited in Burgundy over time.
In search of an expression and after a long period in black and white, he developed a taste for colors and now works on bright colors and monochrome.
Wood sculptures with fabric and plaster also brings another movement to his works.

We look forward to discovering his new inspirations…
