Welcome to my website, I am Zara Lenon and this is my art. My website is to showcase some of my art and writing.

In my painting I have explored a number of themes, ranging from abstract to representational, with an interest in interiors and line.

I didn’t realise I was an artist when I was at school but a number of people have helped me on my journey since then.

I’ve always been interested in tone and it is a key element of my art, it played a key part in my dissertation on Matisse. As my art journey has developed I’ve been infuenced by a number of artists.

Matisse (the subject of my dissertation) by his use of shape, colour and tone. Helen Frankenthaler, by her post painterly abstraction tecnique and her utilisation of space , shape, flatness and surface. By Roy de Maistre and Patrick Caulfield, who both use lineal form.

I hope you enjoy my art. I also write poetry and short stories and have been published. You will find some samples on the XX page.

I graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Metropolitan University in July 2024.
