Portrait of Zayden Cruz

Artist

Zayden Cruz

Tampa, FL · Expressionism & Emotional · 14 years active · 2 artworks

“Working with tiny watch parts for eight years taught me patience and precision. In 2010, I started painting animals because their movements reminded me of clockwork mechanisms. The steady concentration required felt familiar, but suddenly I could work on something alive and breathing instead of just ticking.”

About Zayden

Tiny watch parts filled eight years of work for Zayden Cruz, a job built on patience and precision. In 2010, Cruz began painting animals, whose movements recalled clockwork. The steady focus felt familiar, but now the subject was alive. Cruz took night classes at a local college and works in Tampa, Florida.

Expressionist and emotional, the work runs on bold, dripping color. A tabby cat in thick-rimmed glasses stares out from swirls of emerald, gold and purple, while an elephant charges down a dusty path past acacia trees and golden grass. Both canvases are below, ready to hang in your home.
