Chapeau de paille en été (2023) Painting by Iza Zaro

From screen printing to stencil, Cognitive Schemas…An impression or the technique of printing, from screen printing to wood engraving, from batik to stencil, IZa Zaro Pop Street Art painter and French urban activist draws her path according to his meetings to just come close to color transmission.
His career explains this requirement to mix techniques to better speak about us... hence his collaborations with street art artists such as Jérome Mesnager.
After working on technique, IZa Zaro released a series without dogma, all feminine and even linked to the Femen movement. I am not a saint, Cognitive Schemas II,,,
Following trips to Eastern countries such as Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Russia, Africa with Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, North America with NY, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Middle East in Israel and the West Bank or even in Europe his reflection on the condition of women in a world dominated by men, the pressure from the street and his extreme behavior pushed him to demand simple rights.
Reading feminist philosophers like Elisabeth Badinter or Simone de Beauvoir and the presence of artists linked to the limit such as Epsylonpoint pushed her to understand that man, through the projection of his fantasies, broke women in this period dominated by dogmas.
Her latest creation “The Identity of a Blonde” seeks to represent all the complexity of a woman using simple effects such as the inversion of sky and earth, floor and ceiling. Her installation presents her personal story mixed with that of the Woman, from her birth to her beliefs, narrating through images the thread of her life. She defines herself as a link, a conduit to transmit what she has experienced, using mixed techniques.
Her work appears jovial and infantile while it bears suffering and sweats from intimate wounds that she reveals to us. The public is therefore the last link which makes the choice to stop at the surface of the work or to take the risk of taking a further step to enter into the artist's head: I am not a saint, I am!

The wood engraving and the paper stencil thus symbolize the woman who is so strong and yet fragile.
