Zaria Forman

Zaria Forman is a landscape artist. Her drawings are done in a large scale with pastel as her material. She started her work at a young age traveling wither her parent. her mother was a photographer who took photo of remote landscapes around the world. Forman has various exhibits around the world.
I like Forman's work because of it's large scale. I feel like it compliment the grand landscapes that she is depicting and doesn't diminish the grandness of the depiction.

I'm really curious if she works from photographs that she takes or if its all by memory. There is amazing detail in her work which I think is impression mostly by the fact that its done in pastel which in my experience is very hard to render detail in. I like that she chooses things that seem almost untouchable, like they are just to amazing by themselves to touch or alter. I also like the she uses a more muted color scale. I think it would look too cheeky and fake if there were bright colors
