Featured Artist 

PAMELA 

WILSON 

Pamela Wilson has built a reputation for works of art that 

transcend the commonplace to enter the realm of the 

otherworldly, the sublime unknown. She develops haunting 

images which create a remarkably compelling narrative. 

The physical and emotional isolation of her characters has 

emerged as a hallmark of her work. She explores the great 

chasm of the psyche, the abyss that opens when you seek to 

understand the complex human in modernity. The characters 

in her paintings are often called “odd or mad,” or similar terms 

denoting something out of alignment with ordinary reality. 

She believes that letting ourselves explore the inherent 

“distortions” in reality is part of what gives us heart, and 

balance. Addressing “beauty” in a painting feels too passive, 

and what she is seeking is a psychological moment, a different 

kind of beauty, the beauty in absurdity. Pamela received her 

MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where 

she was awarded a Regents Fellowship, the Abrams Project 

Grant, and a Regents Award for her Thesis Exhibition. She is 

currently Mentor Faculty at Laguna College of Art & Design, 

Laguna, CA, as part of the MFA Program. 

Exhibiting consistently since 1992, her work has been the 

subject of 23 solo exhibitions, spanning the United States. 

She has exhibited in many museums, including the National 

Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington DC, and a solo 

exhibition at the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY. Her work is 

included in many prestigious collections and has graced the 

cover of American Art Collector Magazine twice since 2014.

Interview by Ramón A.Olivares 

kikyz 

1313

Artist Statement 

- Kikyz1313 was born in 1988 in Querétaro, 

Mexico, and creates beautifully intricate 

ink, graphite, and watercolor works on 

paper. From beneath the initially alluring, 

and understated, first impression of the 

works, emerge unexpected oppositions 

and abject tensions. Studies in the afflicted 

wretchedness of humanity, her work is 

neither despondent nor obviously gory, but 

rather presents an aestheticized nightmare 

of sublime abhorrence; ambiguously 

gorgeous despite its agonizing discomfort. 

She received a BFA from Autonomous 

University of Queretaro and had her first 

solo exhibition at the Museum of the City 

(Queretaro City, Mexico). She has completed 

an artist residency at the Nordic Watercolor 

Museum in Skärhamn, Sweden. 

Showed in several art fairs and group 

exhibitions in the USA, Berlin, and London 

as recently presented her second solo 

show entitled ‘The Progeny of Chaos’ in 

Los Angeles, California. 

‘Through my work, I am trying to build an 

emotional momentum, one that rouses 

the intellectual exercise of questioning 

one’s vision of reality. While looking 

at my artwork, the viewer will begin 

to experience a series of diametrically 

opposed thoughts and emotions. Initially, 

they may feel overwhelmed by the 

obsessively intricate and highly detailed 

forms, the composition, the technical skill 

and the pleasant color vibrations but as 

an analytical shift in perception slowly 

overtakes them, the viewer unwittingly 

grasps the artwork’s inescapably wretched 

and subversive subject matter. 

This new clarity forces the observer to 

re-engage with the work and rethink 

their initial opinions until, in some way 

or another, the shift takes place and the 

observer’s perception of natural things 

expands to include elements such as 

disease and death itself. 


‘Kikyz1313’ 

The Artist & Gumiño 

While these types of human experiences 

are often veiled, the artwork truly embraces 

them and functions as a reminder of our 

ephemeral existence and places in doubt our 

vain and materialistic way of understanding 

life.This intellectual exercise will continue 

to expand until the conceptual structures 

of the artwork, particularly it’s elemental 

lack of apparent reciprocity, unwaveringly 

pushes the viewer to put them together into 

the same aesthetic context. 

In turn, a new meaning evolves and gives 

birth to a poetic paradox, a concept that 

I have been developing for 6 years and 

include in each piece that I produce.I also 

want to share my own vision of life and what 

I think matters the most. Maybe the viewer 

will engage with my work in such a way that 

it encourages introspection or solves an 

issue, or possibly they may become morally 

disturbed and confused; but whatever 

the outcome, the ultimate intention of my 

work is to open a dialog and incite thought 

and reflection, which I think must be the 

primordial pursuit of contemporary art.

Interview 

What’s your name? 

Why kikyz1313? 

My name is Laura Ferrer, but I have 

rarely used that name in life. 

Since a child, I’ve always been called 

Kiki causing through the years to be 

a nickname with I identified myself 

better, and even introduced myself as 

Kiki instead of Laura. 

So in my teenage years, at the time 

when I started to consider an artistic 

life, It felt natural to keep using Kikyz 

as an artistic name. 

The full kikyz1313, on the other hand, 

is a silly story that goes back to my 

asthma haunted years, when I was 

a very delicate 4-year-old child that 

spent the whole days inside the house 

playing and drawing. 

I was always advised by my father 

to sign every single dumb drawing 

I made with my name, so I then 

figured ‘kikyz1313’ would make it. 

I kept using that signature because 

it felt right, it had a warm familiar 

feeling to it. 

Describe your path to becoming 

an artist. 

I guess it started like most of the artists; 

with the luck of never stopped drawing. 

Since a child, I used to attend to 

summer art classes with other kids, 

just for the fun and because I had no 

use in other disciplines like dancing, 

martial art, swimming courses, (I tried 

them all) and was terrible at camping 

experiences. So drawing was always 

the little shelter where I was better at 

it, I guess I just got stuck with it and 

kept doing it until I realized that an 

artistic journey would be the only life 

fitting for me. 

And as everyone else who think that 

for making a life you need a school 

degree; I, at the age of 18 went for 

it and graduated from the local 

University of Visual Arts, which said I 

was an artist. 

I’m still not comfortable enough with 

my work to call myself an artist, not 

even the beginning of my career, 

but I did realize that in order to be 

recognized and noticed I needed to 

give impeccable and unique artworks 

to the world, and that’s something I’m 

still driven to do.

Graphite, watercolor and pastel on paper

Interview June 2017 

Where is your studio and where are you from? 

My studio is inside our home in the province of 

Mexico, in a small Catholic district called 

‘El Pueblito’ (Spanish for ‘Little Town’) and I am 

from a small growing city called Querétaro, which 

is a 10-minute ride from my studio and a very 

conservative place as well. 

Tell me about where you grew up and 

how your childhood influenced your ideas 

about creativity 

I never moved from the same place, and the 

same city, so I’ve witness the transition from 

small town to growing city, and everything that 

involves that; the huge contrasts of thinking in 

where fervent Catholicism clashes with social 

hypocrisy and cultural shame and contradictions 

where prehispanic ingrained feeling of ‘pride’ 

opposes to the high desire to flee the country 

and be from somewhere else. 

Mexico is a land full of contrasts and contraries, 

and I believe that growing up with such an 

ambivalent way of thinking and the narrow 

social circle I was since little, made me wonder 

and question this very same train of though, 

influencing in a big way what I am and what I do. 

How would you describe your work? 

I would describe them, as small-enclosed 

scenarios of poeticized human tragedy. 

What motivates you as an artist? 

I think that the first thing that always comes to 

my mind is the motivation to reach the imaginary 

‘self’ that’s living in my head. 

I always picture the look of an artwork or I picture 

an image of myself of ‘How I would like to be’ 

(emotionally, intellectually and even physically) 

and day-by-day, drawing-by-drawing I try to get 

closer to the idealized image of things, in hopes I 

can achieve it. 

So far I’m maybe far from reaching it, but this 

one of the thing that drives me to continuingly 

improve myself in every aspect of my life. 

On the other hand, there is always the 

motivation of staggering others with what you 

do. To bleed yourself in that piece of paper so 

you can thrill an audience with something they 

have never seen. To achieve that something that 

pierces the gut and lives in the consciousness: 

one that can change perceptions and one that 

allows you to be remembered. 

‘Why so lonely’ 2014 



‘The tender for another´s pain’, 

th’ unfeeling for his own . 2016 


Tell us a little about these portraits that live 

in your paintings’ worlds. Who are they and 

what are they up to? 

They portray my personal understanding of 

human condition: the contradictions, the 

senseless behaviors, the gained knowledge, 

my obsessions, the blindfoldedness and 

fears I perceive in myself thus others, all 

jumbled in, floating or resting over and under 

different symbols. Decorated with intrinsically 

beautiful things with the sole purpose to fool 

us in that personal world. 

You do have a very distinct, recognizable style. 

Thank you, but I honestly find myself wondering if 

nowadays that is a compliment or a weak spot. 

It’s a very nice feeling to know that all the imagery 

you’ve been working on for 6 years is solid enough 

to let the artwork speak for it own, but I must say 

that this is also a dangerous place that at long 

term may cause us to fall in the common place 

and in repetition, instead of moving forward to 

improvement. 

This easy way may be very appealing when most 

of the times there’s a fight to feel rejected by our 

peers, institutions, or our audience. 

But, does anyone would really like to be held in 

a place of pleasing others even when a satisfied 

mind is at risk? 

This is something I’m constantly scared of, 

and I try my best to never see myself in such 

situation, even when there is always a big load 

of insecurities and economic uncertainty. I think 

I rather resist this dreadful possibility with the 

opposite: and do a lot more confronting and 

obscure artworks, a lot more obsessive and 

critical, to find different mediums and techniques 

so maybe I can achieve that unexpected and 

higher perception of reality that I’m looking for. 


Tell me about the first time you considered 

art as an actual career. 

It surely was in my teenage years, just before the 

last year of high school. 

I was advised by my family to think about what 

would I do for the rest of my life even when I 

wouldn’t be paid for it… The answer was easy, as 

at the time I enjoyed to draw a lot and an artistic 

life was never a such a crazy idea since my mother 

paints a lot. 

Since then, I considered art not only as a career 

but also as a way of life in which I promised to 

commit myself entirely. 

Did you have any mentors along the way? 

I sadly never had mentors, not even in college, but in 

my first years in the artistic trade did have a couple of 

artists near me that inspired me a lot to be better. 

I think the one that really pushed me into the 

world of drawing would be Román Miranda, who 

was the first artist I knew who lived from art and 

who worked on graphite and paper with some 

very intricate and fantastic compositions. 

At that time I didn’t even know that one could live 

solely from drawing! 

His work opened my eyes, and even when I saw 

his work in persona after 3 years, I kept some 

postcards of his work and only by looking at them 

was a reminder of where I wanted to be in the 

future. Today he is still a huge inspiration, and I’m 

happy to call him a close friend. 

Are your family and friends supportive of 

what you do? 

Absolutely, my family has been a huge beacon of 

support and encouragement since always, and 

there is no possible way I could ever repay or 

thank them enough.

Ink and watercolor on paper

kikyz1313 


What advice would you give to a person 

starting out? 

I would say that: forget about success, forget 

about fame, and forget about money. 

Do an introspective search for as long as you need 

and search for that significant thing in yourself 

that turn your soul on fire, that keeps you awake 

at night thinking and that it’s relevant enough to 

share with the world. 

Then, build yourself artwork that speaks for that 

and most important: don’t ever try to please 

anyone, but you. 

How does where you live to impact your 

creativity? 

Well… the way Mexico is have really shaped 

entirely my whole being. The way I think, the way 

I over saturate my compositions, the obscure 

imagery, the symbols I choose, the muted smoglike 

colors, the subject matters I describe in my 

work, etc. They are all projections of what I’ve 

seen and lived in this place. 

Do you have a favorite book? 

The favorite(s) are changing constantly but I find 

myself always coming back to the 1900’s horror 

fictions authors, these past days with Arthur 

Machen and more of his fantastic short stories. 

I also have a very special place in my head for 

‘Fahrenheit 451’ by Ray Bradbury and ‘The Gods 

Themselves’ from Isaac Asimov.

‘Ghosts from a griesly sweet scent’ 2016 


What is your current album on repeat? 

Right now I don’t have and specific album, though 

I do insanely obsess over an album in time to 

time. But right now I’m constantly repeating on 

my headphones a lot of dark ambient, drone, 

doom and black metal music. 

Who is your role model? 

It’s curious but that’s a question I’ve never asked 

myself, so this is the first time I’m actually putting 

thought on it, and I’m not completely sure If I’ve 

had a role model in the past or today. But I’m 

certain there have been a handful of artists that 

have marked significantly my career and deeply 

influenced my artwork. 

Of course, there’s been always the aspiring feeling 

to be like Dürer or as strikingly raw as Goya, but 

mostly in the past year, I’ve been highly influenced 

by the chaotic compositions, staggering bright 

colors opposing to the muted grayish tones in the 

paintings of Justin Mortimer. 

I knew his work a couple of years ago and since 

then I noticed my works started to become a lot 

more chaotic, random and less narrative. In fewer 

words: driven only by gut. And it’s something I’ve 

been admiring a lot in Justin Mortimer’s work, that 

impromptu selection of the characters, figures, 

and backgrounds always transporting us to a not 

so distant parallel universe of blurred memories 

and reveries. I hope to achieve that feeling 

through my works some day, even though my 

technique and intentions are completely different. 

What was the best advice given to 

you as an artist? 

You could say I live a sort of a secluded life, in a tiny 

social circle; therefore it’s very uncommon to find 

myself chatting in person with someone else and 

even less about my work. So the only strong advice 

or critics I’ve ever had are coming from my husband 

(painter/draftsman as well) who, after a week of 

being sick, found me half of the day crying of stress, 


kikyz1313 


advised me that we have to choose wisely our 

battles, never take more compromises that we can 

get. We have to know our limits and work based on 

them. And in worst case scenario, when it’s too late 

to refuse, then THE HELL WITH IT, that my health 

and mental stability were first and it’s better to ‘fail’ 

the commitment than seriously harming myself in 

order to fulfill other’s expectations. 

Those days I think I was very close to a metal 

breakdown, and after his advice I’ve learned to work 

wisely, resulting to enjoying a lot more what I do. 

What is your dream project? 

I’ve had a strange idea of making paper artworks 

that change with the intervention of the audience 

resulting in different narratives. Something like 

the pop-up and interactive paper books we 

find for kids, but with very obscure and realistic 

imagery. It’s not so dreamy but a little far from 

doing them right now. 

Is there anything you want to do in the 

next 2 years? 

An oil painting series. I’m currently teaching 

myself oil painting and about to end a workshop 

I’m attending. I’m very excited to keep practicing 

and maybe in the near future make very intricate 

compositions with very vibrant colors. 

I wish to make a series of medium formats and if 

they end up decent, to present them in a public 

or private space.

Sarah Jane Stoll is a Connecticut based 

painter and illustrator. She is a graduate

and symbols of nature. Her work has 

been featured in several exhibitions in 

MICA and galleries in Baltimore, such as 

La Bodega. Sarah Jane currently works 

as freelance oil painter and illustrator.

‘Meditating on the Sofa’ 

2016-17 

Oil on canvas


My artwork delves into the phantasmagorical, mythological 

feminine archetypes, cinematic horror, and symbols of 

nature. The concept of the monstrous feminine is of great 

interest to me because it symbolizes the intersection of 

feminine archetypes and horror. It also addresses the uncanny, 

due to its mythical and fearful connotation. The uncanny 

is bound in the nature of our dreams. I wish to express the 

ephemeral quality of dreams through images that dissipate 

into a disorder of blurs and fragments 

I investigate the experiential qualities of dreams through 

painterly abstraction and representation. Realism clings to 

what is perceived as absolute, what we know and remember. 

Abstraction speaks to the transient nature of things. Through 

melting forms, we lose a sense of space in the painting and the 

image dissipates into abstraction. It is through the materiality of 

paint that I express the emotive and metaphysical. I manipulate 

paint through a combination of squeegee dragging, palette 

knife scraping, masking, and marbling techniques.

Bianca 

García 

In my art my main goal is to create 

artworks capable of transmitting 

emotions to the viewer, my technique 

focuses on creating vibrant and 

mysterious artwork using oil on canvas. 

Fine and delicate touches that give a 

touch of mystery and sensuality that 

reflects a bit inside me. Resulting in an 

artwork which is able to express all the 

beauty that my eyes and my soul have 

captured and kept inside of me, the 

whole feeling transmitted right through 

different eyes. Stories I am able to 

imagine or see, because I firmly believe 

that the greatest source of expression 

find it in a intense look, in which they 

have their own language. 




Bianca Garcia is a Mexican artist in oil 

painting and an Art teacher. Born and 

raised in Degollado Jalisco. Beginning 

at a very early age, she was strongly 

influenced by a great artist, her father. 

He is a sculptor, So she started drawing, 

taking inspiration from the drawings that 

her father made for her. 

The expressions on the faces that he drew 

while she watched him were fascinating 

to her, and those special moments, 

were her first inspiration to go into this 

amazing world of art. That started it all, 

but her passion is not only for painting 

faces, it is also to capture expressions, 

emotions and feelings from mysterious 

and enigmatic eyes on a canvas. 

She has been involved in the art world 

since she was a little child. that is 

why she has become a self-taught 

artist. But she is still seeking to find 

and create all that fascinates her and 

to improve her technique. 

She has been showing her work in 

Mexico, and in international exhibits 

as United States, Portugal, Madeira 

Islands, Czech Republic, Russia, and 

coming soon Spain. In her art her main 

goal is to create artworks capable of 

transmitting emotions to the viewer, her 

techniques focus on creating vibrant and 

mysterious artworks using oil on canvas. 

Fine and delicate brush strokes that give 

a touch of depth, mystery, and delicacy, 

which reflects a little of her perception 

inspired by femininity. 

She is currently planning a new oil 

painting gallery in which she will 

seek to project her particular style 

which she is passionate about with 

realistic faces, showing the harmony 

and her interpretation from eyes and 

its magical mystery.

Interview by Almudena Rguez. 

Nadia Rausa is an illustrator based in Alaska, USA. 

She is intrigued by the relationship between nature 

and humanity as a deep connection with love, 

thought, and energy. She strives to portray stories 

with this underlying relationship, along with various 

cultural, psychological, and religious aspects. She 

enjoys exploring the female figure that interacts with 

animals and nature. She strives to represent beauty 

and vulnerability in her subjects. 

Nadia mainly works in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 

colored pencils. Outside of doing illustrative work, she 

is the Creative Director & Co-Founder of R2C2 Studios, 

a photo and film studio in Alaska, as well as the Art 

Curator & Co-Founder of One to a Thousand, an online

Let’s dive in at the beginning of your story. 

Tell me about where you grew up and what 

your childhood was like. 

I mainly grew up in Alaska and was raised in a 

multicultural home. My mom was from Korea 

and my dad from America, so I grew up learning 

both Korean and American culture. When I was 

growing up, I remember being encouraged to 

draw, be creative, and play outside. Playing 

outside was very magical for me; I imagined vast 

worlds around me and built stories upon them as I 

played. I think I got myself into trouble sometimes 

with how much my head was “in the clouds,” as 

some people would say. As I grew older, I learned 

to control when I allowed my mind to wander, 

but every once in awhile, it still has a tendency to 

wander without me realizing until someone jolts 

me out of my head. 

Describe your path to becoming an artist. 

It actually wasn’t until I was in college that knew 

I wanted to become a professional artist. I think 

my path really started when I began graphic and 

web designing about 11 years ago. It was very 

technical, but still artistic. I think that skillset has 

an influence on my art nowadays, although I try 

to be much looser with my paintings than I would 

have been with a graphic design piece. 

I definitely feel like I’m still new to art, but I love 

this path that I’m on right now. I love being able to 

say that I’m an artist when people I ask what I do 

for a living. Being an artist may have not been a 

childhood dream, but it’s my dream and plan now. 

Was there a moment when you realized that 

Illustration was what you wanted to do? 

It was in my sophomore year of college that I 

realized art, particularly illustration, was what I 

wanted to do for a career. Before the semester 

was over, I changed my major to art after some 

inspirational words of encouragement from a 

coworker, who was an art major. That year, I 

realized there is so much more to art than we, 

as a society, are raised to think. Without art, we 

wouldn’t have movies, video games, illustrated 

books, and so much more! I was (and still am) 

determined to be a part of it. I ended up not 

finishing my Bachelor’s degree and left college in 

December 2016 so that I could pursue building my 

portfolio full-time. 

Tell me about “One to a Thousand”. 

One to a Thousand is an online community that 

my best friend, J.L. Chabotte (the writer of us two) 

and I started. It all started when we both wanted 

inspiration and more motivation to draw/paint 

and write more regularly. I would make art that 

would inspire a short story, and she would write 

a short story that would inspire me to draw or 

paint. We thought that other people might enjoy 

the concept, so we started a Facebook group, 

which anyone is welcome to join and partake in. 

We recently started a website, which is currently in 

beta. We are hoping that we can fix the bugs in the 

site and have it opened to the public very soon!

Have you had any mentors along the way? 

There were a few professors in college that 

really helped guide me through my art, but one 

in particular really stands out: John Barton. He 

was my professor for only a couple of classes, 

but I loved working with him because he gave us 

students a lot of freedom. The assignments always 

made us think of our own solution, rather than 

being told exactly what to do. To me personally, 

he was always the one, to be honest with me 

about my work and nudge me in the direction I 

needed to go. Currently, I don’t have a particular 

mentor, but I know that if I ever had a question, 

John and the other professors from my college 

would be happy to answer them. 

been and are incredibly supportive of me being 

an artist. It’s a big leap, especially when I currently 

have a small portfolio. It definitely helps to have 

such a large support group; I’m not sure what I 

would do without them. 

Do you feel a responsibility to contribute to 

something bigger than yourself? 

Yes, I do. I hope that one day I will travel the world 

as a missionary to help those in need of food, water, 

and clothes, and bring the joy of art along with me. 

I love learning about different cultures and it would 

be phenomenal to help preserve other cultures, 

learn their ways, and spread the love of God. 

Are your family and friends supportive 

of what you do? 

Very much so! Both sides of my family (birth family 

and my husband’s family) and my friends have

What advice would you give to 

a person starting out? 

Study and make art every week, if not every day. 

One thing I regret is not being more diligent with 

creating a schedule for myself, until recently. I’ve 

recently set a schedule to make myself get tasks 

done to start building my portfolio. I know that 

if I had practiced and made art every week, I’d 

be a lot further than I am now. Also, don’t worry 

about your art supplies when you’re first starting 

out. Make do with what you have and build up 

from there. Don’t allow what you don’t have to 

stop you from achieving your goals and dreams. 

Always remember: it’s the artist who makes the 

art, not the supplies! And my last piece of advice 

would be to get on Instagram as soon as you 

feel comfortable. Always use hashtags, take your 

photos in the daylight, and post at whatever time 

research says is best for your time zone (for Alaska, 

it seems like between midnight and 2 am are 

prime times to post). 

How does where you live impact 

your creativity? 

We have a lot of wildlife in Alaska and I absolutely 

love it! I love exploring the relationship between 

animals, people, and nature. It’s an incredible 

feeling when there’s a moose in my yard, or a 

crane, or really just any animal. I’m hoping to go 

to Denali this summer to see the various types of 

animals out there. 

What does a typical day look like for you? 

My days are very busy, but I always try to make 

time for relaxation at night. I celebrate my 

Sabbath on Mondays, but every other day I’m 

either working on art, or I’m working on tasks for 

R2C2 Studios, a photography and film business 

I co-founded with J.L. Chabotte, her husband, 

and my husband. My day typically starts off with 

checking any comments or messages I’ve received 

on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, reading 

devotionals, eating some breakfast,

Artistically, I would say Leonardo da Vinci. I just 

love how many subject matters he dabbled in-- 

drawing, painting, inventing. He just seemed like 

an incredibly interesting person. Currently, I really 

look to the artwork of Audra Auclair, J.A.W. Cooper, 

Daria Theodora, and Sara Tepes for inspiration. 

‘She never knew defeat’, 2017

and then I beginning my tasks for that day, which 

I plan that morning while having breakfast. Tasks 

can range from sketching, painting, bookbinding 

(or other handmade craft-related things), or any 

art-related tasks for R2C2 Studios. What I do in a 

day really depends on prioritization. 

Do you have any favorite videogame? 

My all-time favorite video game is Alice: Madness 

Returns. Not only do I love the dark and twisted 

story, but the visuals are absolutely stunning. I 

also enjoy Borderlands, as it was the game that 

my husband and I played the most while dating. 

One could say we bonded over it. 

What is the best piece of advice 

you have received? 

To build your own dream--not someone else’s. I’m 

not sure who it came from, but my husband used 

to work as a call center agent and was helping a 

woman on the phone. Near the end of the call, 

she said that he sounded smart and wasn’t sure 

why he was working for someone. She asked him, 

“Do you want to build someone else’s dream 

or your own?” It really resonated with him, as 

he’s always been the go-getter type. Whenever 

I feel discouraged about my art, I remember 

that question. Do I want to work as an admin or 

receptionist at a company that I don’t really care 

about? Or do I want to build my own dream, or 

as I have recently been calling it, plan of being an 

artist? Sure, the former option is easier, but the 

latter is far more fulfilling. 


Oh my, this is a difficult question! I can’t say 

that I have a particular favorite, even when I 

break them down by genre. My favorite series 

is probably A Series of Unfortunate Events by 

Lemony Snicket. I also really enjoyed the Dark 

Secrets series by Elizabeth Chandler. And just 

about any book by J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. 

I know that isn’t very specific, but I have such 

difficulty narrowing favorites down.

‘Frost’ 2012

Jaymi Zents 



Drawing is the most cherished time that I have. There is a 

meditative element to getting lost in all of the details of a 

beautiful surface with a simple pencil. Organic surfaces have 

always provided the source and inspiration for my work. It began 

with skins and stained rice papers, eventually encompassing 

stained silk and wax. Any surface that literally had a life and a 

history of its own was a potential surface for finding figures. As 

a kid, I was always looking for animals and figures in the clouds 

or the wood paneling. Birch was a natural progression. Initially, 

the birch was a means of extending my love of landscaping 

and gardening into the Winter season. So many of the forms 

and curiosities of nature could be found in each piece of wood. 

The tree itself had endured untold stories. It had sustained 

life, each knot indicative of a branch that fed the tree itself, but 

also supported animals and insects. There is a microcosm in 

the remnants of life, in relics, that is profound and fascinating. 

Stains, knots, and growth rings quickly give way to spider webs 

and roots, wings and blood vessels, and a vast array of biological 

forms. I have deep respect for the life that was lived and wants 

to honor its beauty. Hopefully, my girls are an extension of 

that beauty. The female figure is symbolically in keeping with 

notions of sustenance, nurturing, and fertility that are so much 

of my interest. I strive to draw women who are self-aware, yet 

empathetic. Women with an intelligence and depth beyond 

their physical beauty. Their solitude is their peace.

Interview by Ramón A.Olivares 

EVGENIYA 

GOLIK 

“Deep gazes, halos, long necks, blossoming skins, gold leaves, 

secrets and stars...” 

Evgeniya Golik (aka Evgola) is a Russian born pop-surrealist 

based in San Diego, California. 

Inspired by the European Renaissance, Russian Orthodox icons, 

Slavic folklore, fairy-tales and modern pop culture (fashion, 

photography, cinematography, music), Evgola’s art combines 

a classic sensibility within a contemporary setting, something 

which artist-self defines as ‘Neo Renaissance’. 

Using a variety of media, her work joins real world portraiture 

with imaginative and often surreal narratives to highlight and 

reveal her subject’s personalities. 

Evgola’s haunting paintings and drawings are doors to a mystical 

realm, one which showcases a myriad of beautiful human 

faces and fantastical creatures, that seek to express their secret 

through esoteric language. 

Evgeniya has been working notably with The Oceanside Museum 

of Art (OMA), Museum Of Latin American Art (MOLAA), Museum 

of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) and New Americans 

Museum (NAM) as of latest. Her art have been exhibited in various 

Galleries within the USA and Europe, as well as being published 

and commissioned by private collectors all over the world.

Describe your path to what you’re doing now. 

I’ve been drawing and painting since I can 

remember. It’s not been a straight path to what 

I do now. But art and daydreaming have always 

been my salvation, my happy bubble I was 

hiding into whenever I felt like it, on my good and 

bad days. I remember being a kid, and besides 

doodling in my albums, I would often spend hours 

browsing through books of fairytales illustrated 

with some of the best Russian and European 

artists. Later on it was Art History books. 

My mother is a librarian and big books lover, so 

we’ve always had a great selection of books at 

home. Definitely it had huge impact on me as 

growing artist. I thank my father for the artistic gift 

he pass on me with his genes. And yes of course 

Art School and degree in Architecture and Design 

have helped to improve my skills. 

Did you always want to be an artist? 

No, I’ve tried to avoid the inevitable for a while. 

I grew up in a world of stereotypes, where artist 

as actual job title pretty much did not exist. I had 

to think about earning money as soon as it was 

possible, so art was not an option at that time. 

Architecture and Design were a good compromise 

for me in those years. I kept painting and drawing, 

but only for a pleasure of my own and my beloved 

people, just as my hobby. And I got an actual 

office job. I was fighting my karma for years, until I 

realized that art is what I do best as a professional 

and I actually enjoy it the most. I found ways to get 

paid by being creative and using my artistic skills. 

So it was time to leave the office and pursue my 

dreams. Life is too short, we exist to do something 

we love! Even if it can be a real challenge at 

times, that’s the only way to grow, give our best to 

society and live in peace with our-selves.

Where did you grow up? 

I grew up in Vladivostok, it’s a diverse modern 

city, sea port very East of Russia. I was living 

there till the age of 24, still most of my life. So 

excuse my English, haha. 

You said you grew up in Russia. What was 

the art like there? 

It was impressive, because only the most 

talented people were artists back then, few 

brave ones who had true passion for art 

without compromises. There were not as 

many because of the money struggle factor, 

especially in Perestroika times. Generally art 

was classical, realistic, monumental, patriotic, 

at times impressionistic. Mostly portraits of 

people with great stories, still life, history, 

genre, landscape paintings from what I can 

remember. Definitely a high academic level, 

very strong school. 

What do you do for inspiration? 

For inspiration... I just keep my eyes open. I get 

inspired from everything I see. It can be people 

with unusual characteristics, endless beauty of 

nature creations, events happening in the world, 

different cultures, places I visit, also interesting 

stories, favorite movies or even the medium 

itself that I happen to use... And of course I 

look into the past of art history for inspiration 

(European Renaissance fascinates me the most) 

and follow modern art tendencies, thanks to 

internet and social media it’s easy to do. 




What motivates you as an artist? 

Do you want to know the sad truth? Deadlines, 

haha! Before I started to work with galleries and 

to do commission art, I had a lot of unfinished 

pieces. And I want to thank my ego for pushing 

me to constantly improve my technique and get 

my name out there. Only half-joking. On a serious 

note... Through art I’m trying to express what I 

feel, to share different vision and perspective with 

others, to show that we - humans - are beautiful in 

any version nature has created us and the world 

is a magical place, full of miracles, mystery and 

charm. I know my work resonates with emotions 

of many other people, so I’m on a mission of 

doing it for them. And I practice art for my-self as a 

healing therapy, meditation or escape. 

What kinds of projects are you working on in 

the studio right now? 

I’m working on one big social project. I had an 

honor to be selected by the New Americans 

Museum to work on “Muse mural project” 

(Artist Interpretations of San Diego Museums). 

I’m happy to represent NAM especially since I 

consider my-self “new American”, so I can feel 

the essence of museum’s mission on all levels - 

personal, emotional, political. It’s at the concept 

developing stage right now - producing sketches 

and a large painting before I perform an actual 

mural. Concept paintings for several museums by 

different artists will be exhibited on June 17 at La 

Bodega Gallery, San Diego. Also I have one group 

show “Furs, Tails, Feathers & Scales” coming up 

at Distinction Gallery, Escondido on June 10, 

working on one animal inspired painting for it.

Tell me about the first time you considered 

art as an actual career. 

I guess when I first sold my art piece at the gallery 

and when I started to get requests for commission 

portraits and murals. 

Tell me about body painting. 

I made my first face and body painting attempts 

about 7 years ago. It started as just fun, painting 

friends at home gatherings and festivals in whose 

sweet times I used to party. Then little by little 

it became my second (after fine art) passion, 

and additional career. I do body painting as live 

performance at various events, also for magazine 

editorial photo shoots, for TV, for fashion shows, 

for ComicCon and such. I also teach body and 

face painting at the Makeup Academy. Body 

art is a very special way of self-expression and 

connecting to your model. It’s quite a speedy type 

of painting, I usually have no more than three 

hours to complete it. Human skin is an amazing 

live canvas, the whole process of transformation is 

pretty fascinating and exciting. 

Are your family and friends supportive of 

what you do? 

Extremely supportive! And it means the world 

to me! So grateful for having such loving, caring, 

helping and understanding people in my life. 

Although they are my biggest distraction as well, 

but I don’t mind it - best distraction ever! 

How does where you live to 

impact your creativity? 

When I moved to California I got merged into a 

multi-cultural society. And it definitely transformed 

me as an artist and as a human in general - 

expended my horizons, enriched inspiration. Plus 

San Diego has a very welcoming art community. I 

was lucky to find several artists friends in this city, 




who are always ready to help with an advice, to 

share experience. There are some very talented 

people up here, a lot to learn from. 

What is your favorite music? 

I like many different music genres. Pop Rock, 

Indie Rock, Alternative, New Wave, Trip Hop, 

Blues, Chill out, Psychedelic Trance and most of 

electronic music. I think I will never get tired of 

listening to Depeche Mode. Although my most 

favorite is live music. 


One favorite? No. If you look at my library shelves 

you’ll find mostly art history books, contemporary 

magazines and books about artists I admire the 

most. When I was younger I used to read sciencefiction 

novels by Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Kir 

Bulychev, Victor Pelevin... 


I don’t have one role model, but I truly admire 

several female surrealists: Frida Kahlo, Remedios 

Varo, Leonora Carrington. They are great 

example of strong spirit, unique style and 

unstoppable passion for art. 

What advice would you give to a person 

starting out? 

Stay faithful and sincere to your-self, don’t think 

about “what others will say”, don’t try to create art 

everyone will love - most important that you love 

it. It’s impossible to please all. Your audience will 

discover your talent when the time is right. Find 

something that makes you different from the rest 

and develop it into your unique style. Be patient, 

work hard, keep learning, keep experimenting and 

always give your best. 

What is your dream project? 

Back in the days I dreamed about being book 

illustrator (children’s fairytale books especially), 

perhaps it is still one of my wishes to come true. 

But my dreams have gotten bigger since, literally... 

I dream about large scale paintings, meaningful 

murals of social, public character. So I guess my 

dream is coming to life, since it’s exactly what I’m 

working on right now.
