Mitty ZALL

Growing up Mitty Zall always had a passion for painting. While studying under different mentors, she dedicated herself to learning as many areas and styles as possible.

 

Mitty’s initial works focus on a traditional classical style. In fact, she even followed the painting techniques of master painters of the past, painting multiple layers with raw umber before painting the final top layers in oil.

 

Mitty also became fond of using gold and silver leaf in her work, after studying and reproducing Klimt's icon Judith I, 1901 painting. This and other reproduction can be seen in the Replica series.  

 

After years of painting in a traditional classical style, she started to develop a passion for impressionism, and contemporary painting. While studying these areas, Mitty slowly found herself pulling ideas together across the different genres.

 

In what she likes to call her Mix Media series, Mitty takes an image and in a place and peel technique, transfers it to a canvas or wooden panel.  She then begins to paint over it, or incorporates it into the painting. As a result, the canvas becomes textured, giving the painting a special characteristic.

​

Most recently, Mitty has a new series she refers to as Abstract Scene. In this series she uses acrylic paint with medium in combination with different tools and stroke work to create a unique depth, texture, and visual presentation.
