Personal Profile | Zaleza Aman

I am a Malaysian-British artist with an engineering background. I am very much an imagineer at heart. While I chose numbers and not colours from an early age, I have always been great at imagining and designing things that are creative in nature. My current compositions continue to express both natural and conceptual subjects in life - with a touch of fun-tastic imagination! Creativity, art and painting are more in tune with my emotions and provide a relief from being part of the corporate rat race. My pieces have been a mixture of elements: made from creative expressions in the realms of fantasy, good vibes and nature. I work on small to medium paintings and upcycled materials, with acrylic paints on canvas as my main medium. They are loaded with creative ideas and symbolism, emotive and intelligent. My aim is to put my soul closer to the colours that I can marvel at in the night sky and be able to exhibit my artworks locally and internationally. As a Muslim female artist, it is a real challenge to grace the creative arts but I am now all focused on imagineering the art world!
