zIO zIEGLER

United States

Zio Ziegler (born 1988) is an American artist known best for his paintings and murals, many of which appear in the Mission District of San Francisco, as well as around the world such as Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Italy, and more. His paintings have been featured both in the United States and internationally.

Ziegler is known for both painting and murals, stating that his paintings are mainly inspired by Literature, French Modernism, and Architecture. His art features "repeated motifs of primitive patterns, gigantism, and distortion" and is improvisational rather than carefully planned.

The work of Zio Ziegler is focused on self-reflection and it is influenced by a multitude of styles, including classicism, cubism, futurism, primitivism and mural works. What is most attractive about Ziegler’s work is his boundless energy, which explodes in thousand colors in his paintings on canvas as well as drawings. His sources of inspiration are as eclectic as his style, including theater, gallery, comics, illustration, folk culture and San Francisco.
