I have many complex feelings around painting people, relationships, friends, situationships ect. I’m recently working on a piece related to a recent break up and feel strange about showing it because I don’t want him to think I’m obsessed or dwelling or creepy but fuck it! I don’t care let me process and express and if you think painting someone’s face without their permission is immoral! Well cheating on someone is also quite immoral.
Anyway here’s my new piece I have started (not finished)
“Beautiful losers”
You love only when it’s a reflection of yourself.making me a mirror you can romanticise. he couldn’t tell me anything about me, just how I made HIM feel.

i LOVE seeing people's painting stations! love your painting. don't need to worry about censoring people who have been a part of it whether it was for good or bad. it's all fodder for art!

I was taken by this piece at Franck Elbaz at the opening of "Host" last night. I began a piece a couple nights ago, on a large swath of unprimed canvas that I taped to my wall. After sketching on it, out of classic Zahra impatience, I began on it in passionate oil pastel sticks and then reprimanded myself for not waiting to gesso it. But then I would miss the skin-feel of the fabric... After seeing this painting below, I decided to let the laws go to shit and just make a grand fucking mess, and let it do the one thing it should do: sing to me.

One of my most recent paintings. Sometimes I think I've gotten too familiar with my own face because of how much I use myself as a reference in my art. Kind of makes me wonder if most people really know what they look like.

It is summer time and everyone is out dancing and drinking, meeting new lovers or growing with old lovers. I am left watching as I work for money and for a better version of myself. My winter was wild and shocking with polycules and new friends, flirting and drinking everyday barely had a second to look after myself let alone my dog(Ted). the strangest thing is how I’m very happy not doing much, I love my own company and I’m getting a complete 8 hours of sleep with no lovers to keep me awake at night or disrupt my eating schedule from nausea. I feel wrong for this though like I should be making every memory possible, Jam Pack as many emotions and experiences as I can whilst young and it’s summer. but I’m so happy, I need to stop being mean to myself, for changing my mind on what I truly want.

I know by Fiona Apple has been replayed many times this week as I actually begin to process a break up from months ago. His ex texted me too so all the emotions are going crazy

As I draw my friend playing guitar and my other doing origami in the same room. How nice is it to be close to people and not have to be anything other than yourself. Completely separate in activity but together in space <333
