Meet the Artist

My name is Jonathan Zavou. I invite you to explore my website at your convenience.

I am a self-taught multidisciplinary artist known primarily for my vibrant, colourful paintings. I also work in illustration, sculpture, and photography.

My artistic practice can be best characterised as eclectic, encompassing a diverse array of genres including contemporary abstract, landscape, portrait, and still life. My work is inspired by elements from the natural world, architectural structures, art, and design that I observe daily.

I favour acrylics as they complement the speed at which I paint and suit the surfaces I prefer to work on including canvas, board, paper, or metal. I like to incorporate a broad spectrum of colours, tones, shapes, and textures into my creations which vary in size.

I have created numerous artworks, including commissioned pieces. My illustrations and photographs have been published in books and calendars.

Should you wish to commission a painting, drawing, or illustration please click here to contact me and I will reach out to discuss your requirements in detail and provide a quote.

My photographic portfolio is available for viewing on the Zavou Photography website, accessible here.
