Artist
Zahra Holm
Originally from Sweden and Tunisia, contemporary artist Zahra Holm lives and works in Paris, France. She started drawing at a very young age and is a self-taught painter, primarily working with oil paint. Her abstract works are a fusion of colour studies, and musings on the female form and female experience.
Zahra's Style
Zahra is fascinated by the female form, the main subject of her work. Her bold use of colour and curvaceous lines create striking compositions that reflect the beauty and power of women. The forms suggest femininity: the conventionally considered female, the symbolic female, and the abstract female.
Her work is a tribute to the essence of femininity, discovering beauty in imperfection. She confronts through her art the society of today, where perfection is everywhere. Zahra filters her personal experiences, questioning and analysing herself through abstraction and simplification.
"My work is a tribute to the essence of femininity; a modern female-focus, bringing forth questions surrounding beauty ideals, body shape and gender. Abstract shapes and curvaceous lines, are used to express their feelings, tell their stories." - Zahra Holm
Women
"This collection is an introduction of my art. Pieces from a few months ago and pieces that I made a few weeks ago. A series of portraits inspired by women and my personal feelings." - Zahra Holm
