Doll Maker 

Zaya created 'Doll Maker' using the traditional materials of oil paint on canvas. The rough texture of the canvas is still visible beneath the layers of paint, adding depth to the image. The composition and color palette create a dreamlike atmosphere. The doll maker is surrounded by whimsical objects, suggesting a world of imagination and creation. She holds one of her dolls, as if contemplating the act of bringing something to life. The colorful patterns on her skirt and the floating objects add to the overall sense of playfulness. Zaya's work can be seen as a celebration of craft and creativity. It reminds us that the act of making can be a powerful way to connect with our inner selves and to create something meaningful in the world. This painting invites us to appreciate the skill and artistry of the doll maker, and to consider the importance of craft in our own lives. It challenges the traditional separation between art and craft, and reminds us that both can be sources of beauty and inspiration.
