Zareena Zaid
Contemporary Sculptural Abstraction
New York
Zareena Zaid is a New York–based contemporary artist whose work explores geological layering, mineral structure, and sculptural form. Working across textured acrylic, plaster, resin, wood, and natural crystals, she constructs dimensional compositions that feel excavated rather than painted.
Her practice is rooted in the language of stone and formation — fractured strata, mineral veins, crystalline growth, and the subtle movement found within oceanic landscapes. Through layered material processes and intuitive construction, each work develops depth, pressure, and a sense of emergence.
Series such as Strata and Emergence investigate the way natural forces shape matter over time, translating geological formations into contemporary sculptural works designed for architectural interiors and collector spaces.
Each piece is one of one — built by hand without molds or repetition.
Her works are collected by private collectors and interior designers seeking statement pieces that merge fine art with spatial presence.
Studio Approach
Material Driven
Each work begins with layered construction using plaster, acrylic, wood, resin, and mineral elements. The process is tactile and sculptural, allowing the surface to evolve organically.
Geological Inspiration
The work draws from natural formations — stone strata, crystal clusters, mineral veins, and coastal erosion patterns.
One-of-One Works
No molds. No reproduction. Each piece develops through its own process, resulting in singular works created for collectors and contemporary interiors.
