Susanna Zema is a multidisciplinary artist on a mission to inspire self-discovery through purposeful art that taps into nature's archetypal power. Her art is a meditation on the interconnectedness of life and nature. She works primarily with watercolours to capture our world's fluidity and natural essence, inspired by the beauty of wildlife, flowers, and the wonder of human emotions. She often employs bold brushstrokes and splashes to convey the vitality of life.
Zema's art carries a dual message: the importance of wildlife and ecosystem conservation and the joy and spiritual connection with the beauty of our world and the universe. She aims to foster a more conscious and caring relationship with nature, inspiring viewers to appreciate life's splendour through her art.
As a multidisciplinary artist, Zema believes in the spiritual and transformative power of nature, the Earth, and the Universe to heal and uplift the human soul.
In a world where chaos and stress often rule, my art is a beacon of light, reminding us to reconnect with the natural world and tap into its divine energy. I want to help those feeling lost, disconnected, or drained by modern life rediscover their inner peace and happiness.
In her series 'Wildlife in Bloom: An Emotional Journey', Zema explores the beauty of the natural world and the complexity of human emotions. Animals are the representation of humans as part of our ecosystem and as our spirit guardians. Together with the rare and giant flowers and the energy coming from the sun, the stars, the moon and the rainbow, they go deeper into the realm of life challenges and how we can overcome them, spreading joy and energy everywhere, no matter how hard is the journey.
With every artwork Zema creates, she aims to inspire people to look at the world with fresh eyes and transport them to a realm of pure and mystical beauty, where they can experience a spiritual connection with the natural world and the universe. It's a journey to reclaim what's been lost and experience the profound joy and serenity of being in harmony with the Earth and the cosmos.
As Zema expands her artistic horizons and collaborates with fellow creators on community-enhancing projects, especially those related to wildlife conservation, she strives to create art that enriches the soul and encourages us all to embrace life to the fullest.
