Story of an artist
He likes to capture the light created by the combination of the elements at different times of the day and tries to help the viewer appreciate the beauty around them.

Zoka was born in Dagestan, and from an early age he showed a great passion and ability for art.
He found it easy to express himself with painting and sculpting rather than using words.
Zoka initially loved painting landscape, especially mountains and green terrain view which connected him to his childhood, in 2014 experienced a traumatic event and after his recovery he has developed a greater appreciation for abstracts where color and movement are the subjects themselves, and becomes deeply involved with the emotion of pure color whilst creating each piece.
