The Collection

The Zen Collection

Modern living is filled with movement, information and constant distraction. We rarely experience true quiet. Yet the spaces we live in have the power to influence how we feel.

A painting cannot slow the world down.
But it can slow a room down.

Each work in this collection is intentionally minimal, allowing colour, texture and light to breathe. Soft neutrals, harmonious palettes and carefully balanced compositions invite a feeling of stillness rather than demanding attention.

The Zen Collection

Born from a simple question:
how do we create more calm in everyday life?

Blue Mountains — mountain ranges traced in fine gold and cream line work, oil on canvas
I.

Blue Mountains

Oil on canvas · 2026

Ranges of deep teal and ochre rise and fall in thousands of hand-drawn lines — a landscape reduced to breath and rhythm. Up close, the surface moves like wind over water. From across the room, it settles into perfect stillness.


Misty Ocean Horizon — layers of sea-mist blues, soft greens and morning gold, oil on canvas
II.

Misty Ocean Horizon

Oil on canvas · 2026 · In private collection

The lightest work of the collection — layers of sea-mist blues, soft greens and morning gold meeting at a quiet horizon. Painted for rooms that ask for brightness without noise.


Heatwave — large copper-toned line work painting in a contemporary living room
III.

Heatwave

Oil on canvas · 2026 · In private collection

The warm register of the collection — copper, bronze and burnt umber flowing in continuous ridgelines. It grounds a room the way earth grounds a landscape, pairing naturally with leather, timber and stone.


Velvet Terrain — grey and cream line work in a silver frame
IV.

Velvet Terrain

Oil on canvas · 2026 · Framed

Monochrome, restrained, almost drawn rather than painted. For spaces where a single quiet gesture says enough.


Orange Valley I & II — diptych of mountain ridges and a valley floor in coral and terracotta line work, oil painting by Lana Zueva
V.

Orange Valley I & II

Oil on canvas, diptych · 180 × 120 cm · Private collection, Melbourne

A diptych in coral, terracotta and soft red. On one canvas, mountain ridges rise in layers of fine pale lines; on the other, the valley floor opens out in long, flowing contours.


Ease — pale gold and cream contour lines over a deep olive-green ground, oil painting by Lana Zueva
VI.

Ease

Oil on canvas · 100 × 100 cm

Pale gold and cream contour lines flow across a deep olive-green and khaki ground — dense, rhythmic ridges that feel like wind through grass or a quiet current moving through a field. The surface is richly textured. From across the room the painting reads as a single calm field of colour; up close, each line catches the light.


Breathe In — fine cream and gold lines flowing over turquoise, teal and deep blue, oil painting by Lana Zueva
VII.

Breathe In

Oil on canvas · 200 × 150 cm

Layers of turquoise, aqua, teal and soft sea green flow across the canvas in organic, wave-like forms. The movement feels like ocean swell, drifting mist or a distant landscape seen from above, with deeper blue shades adding depth. The mood is calm, serene and meditative — a painting that invites you to slow down and breathe.


Brown on Brown — diptych of two square canvases in copper and chestnut with fine dark line work, oil painting by Lana Zueva
VIII.

Brown on Brown

Oil on canvas, diptych · 182 × 91 cm · Private collection, Melbourne

A diptych of two square canvases in deep copper, chestnut and umber, each covered in fine dark line work that flows like wood grain or wind-shaped earth.


Aqua — triptych of pale flowing lines over teal, aqua and sea green, oil painting by Lana Zueva
IX.

Aqua

Oil on canvas, triptych · 183 × 91 cm · Private collection, Sydney

A triptych in teal, aqua and soft sea green. Pale lines roll across all three canvases like slow swell, with touches of gold surfacing along the crests.


Mountain Inhale — dark teal mountain painting traced in fine cream and gold lines, shown in a light minimalist room, oil painting by Lana Zueva
X.

Mountain Inhale

Oil on canvas · 120 × 180 cm

Layers of deep teal, turquoise and dark blue build up like mountain ridges in mist, with thousands of fine hand-drawn lines in pale cream and gold tracing the terrain. The linework flows and ripples across the surface, giving it depth and movement. Part of a series inspired by nature, Zen philosophy and wabi-sabi.

Why I Paint
“I don’t paint to fill empty walls. I paint to create spaces that feel different.”
Lana Zueva

In a world that encourages us to move faster and consume more, I choose to create work that asks nothing from the viewer except to slow down.
