Digital Sketches Printed on Different Surfaces by Zenka's Art

Nino Zenaishvili, same as Zenka, is a graphic designer, whose digital sketches often find their place on different surfaces. Her art is printed on scarves, facemasks, walls, and even chairs. 

We asked Zenka what inspired her art and what's her daily workday like: 

''I have been drawing professionally since I was 5 years old and it was very organic in my later life as it continued. 

I get up late because I draw somewhere at 5 a.m. Sometimes the sun rises without me noticing it. Every day is so different, I can't call it a routine, I don't have a special schedule. Sometimes, there are unproductive days, when I just solve delivery issues, meet friends, or simply find inspiration,''-said Zenka in the interview with CBW. 

She only paints in Photoshop and Illustrator. As she says, she hasn't held a brush and paper for quite some time and feels like this direction was invented for her. 

''I like that crypto art is a new style and I became a part of it. I'm not sure what to call my style, but I know I put a lot of love into each work. 

I get inspired by anything: the beginning of the day, people that I meet, music, emotion, the color of concrete, walls, scent- I reflect this all in my sketches. 

I never decide beforehand. I simply start drawing and all comes naturally. I transpose all impressions I've had throughout the day. When I wake up in the morning and I ask myself: Did I draw this?'',''-says Zenka. 

On the question of what advice she would give to a young artist following her steps, she answered: Never give up and never stop! The world is so beautiful and diverse that there will always be ideas. The main thing is not to stop and look for interesting moods and inspiration. Go travel, meet people and find harmony with yourself.
