Zara Newman is a self-taught digital artist who lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. Living with a genetic disorder called Marfan Syndrome, Newman uses art as a means to emancipate herself and draw strength. She endeavors to convey stories through her artwork, shedding light on the experiences of the less fortunate.
Zara’s work revolves around various struggles, from racism and sexism to classism and ableism. Her goal extends beyond mere connection; she seeks to acknowledge those who have endured hardships and to truly see them. Through her art, she sends a powerful message:
I see your struggle, and I applaud you for how far you've come. It's challenging to be strong all the time. Don't be ashamed of your pain. You have the right to feel and heal at your own pace.
