Zelyss is a contemporary pop-surrealist artist whose work invites viewers into a wistful dreamscape, where innocence lingers and time stands still. With a deep-rooted love for romanticism and all things antique, her art evokes the delicate wonder of childhood through a lens of nostalgia and subtle melancholy.
Whether through paintings, sculptures, or meticulously crafted dolls and dollhouses, her creations explore the enchanted world of a never-growing child—playful, curious, and just slightly haunted. Her visual language is infused with the delicate aesthetics of vintage toys, drawing on the quiet storytelling power of dolls to reflect emotional depth and quiet rebellion.
Since 2014, her work has been exhibited in galleries across Europe and the United States, and is now part of private collections around the world. She primarily works with acrylics and oils for her paintings, while her sculptural pieces are brought to life with paper, clay, and repurposed materials—each one hiding secret textures and histories beneath their charming exteriors.
