Zoe Aczel trusts her intuition to create. Through experimenting with liminality, and a synesthetic response to music, she steps into other realms built from walls of emotions. It is a form of introspection: a confrontation of repressed memories, hope, longing and guilt born from inner turmoil: direct results of specific moments in her life. Zoe created biomorphic surreal landscapes that helps reconnect with lost loved ones and open pathways to healing. Aczel seeks peace, creating the inner world on the outside allows her to wander liminal realms, where body and mind, living and dead, wisdom and ancestors connect in symbiotic ways. Creating unrecognizable realities forces us to be reminded of the interconnectivity in all that is one in nature and in spirit, resulting in biomimetic structures, signalling an unknown but familiar force of which we are all part of. Zoe was born in Hungary, Budapest in 1998. In 2020, she embarked on a journey studying Fine Art, Painting at the University of Brighton, where she began expanding on her autobiographical approach. She worked as an Artist Assistant for Iva Troj in 2021. Aczel graduated in 2023 and showed a series of works in the Brighton Summer Shows exploring her family history, through responding to the writings and ornaments made by her grandfather throughout his imprisonment in Arkhangelsk, a forced labour camp from 1944-1946. In 2023, Aczel`s work was part of the ‘Sun and Moon’ Exhibition in Wuhan, China. Since then, Aczel exhibited at Soho Beach House, at 19a Gallery, Brighton, and participated in two group shows at Toolip Art Gallery in Vienna.
