about The artists

Meet Jonathan Zuniga, a 30-year-old artist and pastry baker hailing from the vibrant cities of Seattle, WA, and Houston, TX, USA. I am the creative force behind JZ Art Studio, where I delve into the realms of contemporary abstract art, photography, culture, and pop art.

In the bustling daylight hours, I am crafting delectable pastries, but as the sun sets, I immerse myself in the world of art. Whether I am freezing a moment with a Polaroid, wielding a brush, or sketching intricate designs, I am always in the process of creation.

My journey as an abstract artist has been a revelation, guiding me towards my true passion. In 2020, I proudly launched my website, jzartstudio.com, and the support I've received from those who appreciate my artistic endeavors has been truly humbling.

Within my portfolio, you'll discover a diverse range of abstract pieces, spanning from subtle and introspective to bold and expressive. I constantly embrace new mediums, adapting and evolving to bring out the essence of my art. My goal is to evoke emotion through a sea of creations, attempting to breathe life into the mind with imperfect yet authentic hands. Join me on this artistic odyssey, where every stroke tells a story and imperfection is embraced as truth.

Art has always been an integral part of my life. From a young age, I was drawn to museums, galleries, studios, and local exhibitions—both at home and during my travels. Immersing myself in these creative spaces nurtured a deep appreciation and enduring passion for the arts.

My formal artistic journey began in 1996 in California, where I took my first art classes. It was there that I discovered a profound love for painting, particularly in the realms of abstract and surrealism. This foundation sparked a lasting interest in contemporary art and set me on a lifelong creative path.

I later pursued studies at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where I honed my skills in various mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media. My training took place in advanced studio workshops, where I developed a strong command of technique and craftsmanship. These experiences have shaped my artistic practice and allowed me to create works that reflect both technical precision and unique personal expression.
