New Work


FEATURED ARTIST

Richard Zielenkiewicz, more professionally known as Monsieur Z, burst onto the international illustration scene in the early 90’s when his work was first published in Wallpaper Magazine. His illustrations are colorful, edgy, and reflect his ongoing fascination with the, retro sensibilities of 1960’s Hollywood.

His graphic style and immense technical skill as a draftsman have led him to become one of the most celebrated artists of our time. His primarily digitally synthesized images have come to cement Mr. Z as the forerunner of his craft. All of his work showcases the immense attention to detail as well as his marked fascination with architectural penmanship.

Mr. Z has collaborated with top brands including Vogue, Guess, Lexus,  Air France, Amstel Light, Bernardaud Champagne, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Evian, Glamour, Hasbro, McDonalds, Redken and Wallpaper Magazine.

What inspired you to become an illustrator?
After working as a textile designer I was offered a job as an art teacher. So I think I fell in love with drawing and illustrating again whilst I was teaching.

How has your artwork developed or changed over the years?
have experimented and developed the change of scale with my mural artwork.

Tell us about your technique.
I use a line drawing technique with watercolor layers. I like to try to keep my artwork very simple.

Describe your work environment/studio.
It’s part of my home, colorful and full of natural light. My work area gets messy very quickly – it becomes full of papers, sketches and research material. However, when I begin a new series of drawings or a new job, everything has to be perfectly cleared and cleaned, otherwise I am totally unable to start anything.

Who are your favorite artists?
Henri Matisse, Ellsworth Kelly, Manet and Dan Flavin.

Do you listen to music while you paint, and if so what music sparks your creativity?
Rarely, I prefer to work without music, my studio is very quiet and I really enjoy it.

What song would you chose as the soundtrack to your life?
Bird songs.

What could we expect to find in your refrigerator if we took a peek right now?
Not much, but I am longing for French pastries!

If you were a superhero, what superpowers would you posses?
The ability to heal and bring peace!

If you won $50 million in the lottery, how would you spend the money?
I would keep $10 million and give the rest away.

What is your idea of the perfect weekend?
Being by the sea with family, eating fish and crepes on the beach.

Where was your most recent travel destination? Rome.

What is your greatest influence?
Traveling and reading.

What is the best project you have ever worked on?
All of my projects are the best! But I think that my murals are the most spectacular!

If you weren’t an illustrator, what alternate career path might you have taken?
I would love to be a gardener.

What is your mantra in life?
Believe & be happy!
