WaZeil
BUDDING CLOWN ☁︎ PROFESSIONAL ARTIST
WaZeil is a queer Egyptian dreamweaver; creating whimsical worlds through watercolor paintings, illustrations, textile work and the magic of miniature doll-making. Her artistic point of view dances between dimensions. A universe where 2D painted figures step gently off the page to become delicate 3D handmade dolls. Each work is formed with intention and whispers their individual stories. Simultaneously a natural paint and ink alchemist, WaZeil makes all of her own watercolor paint, ink and textile dyes from produce waste, home grown flowers, wild harvested plants, nuts and trees. Her paintings mesh the earthen world, botanical illustrations and human features all together. Each one defined by her signature zippy paint splatters and disfigured anatomy that coexist together in harmony. With quirky facial features and bendy little limbs designed for stop-motion animation; her peculiar dolls are delicately crafted from a combination of hand painted paper clay, naturally dyed textiles, plant based fibers and copper. Through her body of work, WaZeil invites viewers to step into her enchanting world where stories bloom in every brushstroke and stitch. She writes a tender love letter to the intricate dance between humans and nature; illustrating how humans and nature are intertwined.

"Reminds me of being at a scholastic book fair; scented erasers, new paperbacks. And there's a book with an art style that makes you feel scared yet intrigued and you're not sure why you can't stop looking."
