Early Life
[edit]Zakaryias Bzizi was born on May 29, 1994, in Libya. From a young age, he showed a strong interest in surrealism, horror, and mythology. With limited exposure to surrealist art in his home country, he developed a self-taught approach, experimenting with digital and traditional techniques.

Bzizi's artistic influences include H.R. Giger, Salvador Dalí, and Zdzisław Beksiński and elements from fantasy and horror literature.
A pivotal chapter in Bzizi’s career came with the creation of his most renowned collection, Empress from Dreams. The collection was created with his muse, Amilia, who played a significant role in shaping the artistic themes of nightmares, divine soul, subconscious power, and haunting beauty.
