Zara Muse, the creative persona of Alexandra Johnson, is a contemporary artist known for her vibrant, textured works created using a palette knife and spatula. Her art explores themes of nature, emotions, and human relationships, celebrating female beauty through a diverse color palette.
Artistic talent runs in Zara's family, as she is related to a prominent street artist. She nurtured her creativity during summer vacations, but her journey to becoming a respected figure in both art and finance faced challenges. Despite a successful finance career, her true passion has always been art. While working as a trader in London, she became captivated by the graffiti art movement, which inspired her own artistic journey.
