Introducing #ParisGeorgiaMuse — Aziza Shadenova. The multidisciplinary artist weaves her culture with her craft to create art reflective of her individual story and Central-Asian heritage. Aziza masterfully distills these layered themes into pieces of beauty in a way that is original, pure, and true to her. “My work often focuses on the untangling of my ethnic roots, observations and engagements with the past and present, and an investigation of how it may reflect on the future.”

On who she considers a muse, Aziza mentioned “Louise Nevelson, Kira Muratova, Megumi Satsu, and Maya Deren. I chose these phenomenal women because their works inspire me daily. Each so different visually but yet similar in their bold approach, pioneering and independent spirit. Distinctive and very passionate in their commitments. That’s what it takes to be my muse.”

Aziza is a #ParisGeorgiaMuse not only for what she has achieved, but for the voice and perspective she brings to the table. Aziza shows us the power of independence and the value of your own unique voice.
