Ezana draws his artistic inspiration from the cherished places of his childhood, weaving the intricate tapestry of his creativity through the natural and man-made arrangements, patterns, and shapes that life presents. From the very moment, he could grasp a pencil, he knew that art was not just a pastime for him; it was his profound passion.

Experimenting with diverse mediums like oil, acrylic, charcoal, and watercolours, Ezana’s artistic journey led him to the digital realm during his university years. Despite his deep connection with the digital world, he always found himself yearning for the tactile experience of traditional art, often sketching in his free moments.

Having earned his BA degree in digital media under the Social Science faculty from London Metropolitan University, Ezana emerged not only as an artist but also as a DIGITAL CRAFTSMAN, mastering the fusion of technology and creativity. Additionally, he honed his skills at the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, delving into the intricate nuances of art and design.

His artwork transcends mere visual representation; it delves into the very core of his identity, reflecting the deeply rooted cultural values that define him. Each piece narrates tales of cooperation, showcasing the ordinary yet extraordinary way of life in his neighbourhoods.

It captures the essence of a supportive communal spirit and the interwoven threads of life, expressing a connection that goes beyond the physical realm. In this series, Ezana invites viewers to hear the voices embedded within his art, voices that echo the harmonious coexistence of his society.

The title of his current series, “Ungrounded,” encapsulates a profound concept. In a world where vast ideas are discussed and knowledge seemingly surfaces endlessly, there is a simultaneous questioning of the foundation upon which these ideas stand. The series delves into the dichotomy between profound knowledge and genuine wisdom. It takes the viewer on a journey where one feels suspended, floating or walking on air, reflecting the surreal nature of today’s discussions and discoveries.

Ezana’s art not only captures the eye but also engages the mind, inviting viewers to contemplate the depths of human understanding and the delicate balance between knowledge and wisdom. Through “Ungrounded,” he challenges conventional perceptions and invites viewers to explore the world with a fresh perspective, one that is not bound by the constraints of the earth but rather floats freely, unburdened by preconceived notions.
