Q&A
My goal is to connect the beauty of wildlife with art. The positive feedback I get on my work motivates me to create.
I am mostly influenced by wildlife photographers. I like to keep my work realistic, that’s why I always get inspiration from real photos instead of digital artwork. There’s a bunch of great wildlife photographers.
Since I have been living in Russia I have been creating a lot more, so it definitely changed the the way I spent my time designing.
I am working on a series of Children’s Books right now. For the next few months I am also starting to work on a full course to help others start creating. Other than that, I do commissioned work for clients regularly, and when I have free time I create tutorials or make new artwork myself.
My name is Zenja but when I was a teenager I used to play games online, that’s where I started using the name Zenz. When I started creating I added design to it, Zenzdesign.
