Icon Zar

She left Russia after the collapse of Soviet Union, facing democracy chaos, she went to Spain to “live a better life“.
In Palma de Mallorca Icon Zar found herself as a true artist, inspired by light, Magical Paradise Island and historical spirit of the past, specially from 19 century. Her desire to become a movie director takes form of Russian Mediterranean artist, where each of her Art Periods has a story to tell and new challenges in colour.
Her Art is divided into 9 different periods: RED, BLUE, WHITE, BLACK, GREY, PINK, GOLD, GREEN and VIOLET. Each period has reflections of political changes in the world for that period of time.

Working with charities, foundations and enviromemtal sea organizations made her realised how concuming daily habits can make a big difference in the world and “There‘s No Planet B“.

“ Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.“

John F. Kennedy

Her art is in many collections around the world like USA, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Irland, UK, Russia, Japan and Spain.

She lives and works between Moscow, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and French Rivera.

Upcoming project: Seahorses ( Caballitos de Mar ).

“ I paint now seahorese, because I affraid that in the near future they will dissepeared and our children will forget how beautiful they are!“
