The artist welcomes any interpretation the viewer may reach. While creating this work, Martinovic was reflecting on cycles of degradation and creation, life and death; the emptiness of flowery words in the face of current events; and the chaos of people talking over each other.
Artist Bio
Zoey Martinovic
Zoey Martinovic is a Toronto–based calligrapher and graphic artist who specializes in asemic writing—a form of semi-indecipherable script that balances between abstraction and language. Influenced by the sharp geometry of Fraktur and the fluid ornamentation of Arabic calligraphy, Martinovic creates dynamic compositions where gesture, texture, and rhythm matter as much as form. Each piece is composed entirely freestyle, guided by instinct in the moment, with only the loosest framework of an idea. Follow the artist @foodstupid.
