Each month, Icky Love Art Loft & Gallery features a new artist working in Hawai‘i. All artwork displayed in the gallery will be available for purchase. If you would like a virtual tour or private appointment, please contact us.
Dara Zakimi is an artist and art educator born and raised in O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. Her work can be characterized as intuitive painting with gesturally fluid mark marking, a focus on deep color fields and the utilization of experimental processes and techniques.
Zakimi’s nonrepresentational watercolor paintings are a visual translation of her personal experiences and the natural world. A fundamental image used in her work is the circle for its extensive symbolism of totality and cyclical movement. Through her pieces, she intends to create an experience for the viewer to ponder their own interpretations. She states “Although these are my own visions and conceptual representations, I want viewers to have a reflective space for their own self exploration, whatever it may be for them.”
