Spencer Zaborniak

He grew up in Nanoose Bay and began painting and drawing at a very young age. Throughout the years he always had an interest in art, and was always curious at the challenge of portraiture. In art class when he was in grade eleven he was assigned to paint a portrait, and already had a vision of painting a rap artist who he was highly influenced by at the time. Since that Portrait he fell in love with painting portraits of those who inspire him, and has been dedicated to painting since 2014. 

His first portraits were on acrylic but he has been painting in Oils since 2018. Each painting is a new a discover. An adventure of an ongoing process. His goal now is to work with models and capture the harmony and beauty of the natural complexion.

His work has been featured in London in the London Art Biennale in 2023. His Painting Into the light was featured in the Chiancianno Biennale in 2024, where he won first place prize for best Painting.
