We are thrilled to announce that Yiskah Zayas has been awarded an honorable mention for her captivating collage self-portrait titled “Divine Euthymia” at the recent Little Egypt Association High School Art Competition. This recognition is a testament to Yiskah’s exceptional talent and dedication to her craft.

When asked about her decision to submit her artwork, Yiskah humbly expressed, “It’s not often that I get to show my artwork to others aside from my friends and family, so I just decided to submit it because it’s not often I get many chances.” This courageous step to share her work highlights Yiskah’s commitment to sharing her creativity with the world.

Yiskah’s journey in the world of art began at a remarkably young age. She shared, “I’ve been into art since pre-K,” indicating a lifelong passion that has undoubtedly flourished into the remarkable talent we see today.

Looking towards the future, Yiskah has ambitious plans to continue her artistic pursuits beyond high school. “Yes, I’ve wanted to improve myself in art and even publish my works one day,” she affirmed. Her determination to further develop her skills and share her creations with a wider audience is truly inspiring.

“Divine Euthymia,” Yiskah’s award-winning piece, offers a glimpse into her creative process and artistic vision. Explaining the artwork, she revealed, “It was an art assignment where we cut small pieces from magazines and glued them onto the portrait of ourselves.” Through this innovative technique, Yiskah has crafted a mesmerizing depiction of herself that captivates viewers with its intricacy and depth.

Yiskah draws inspiration from various sources, including her imagination, creativity, movies, and music. Her ability to find inspiration in the world around her speaks to her artistic sensitivity and breadth of vision.

As Yiskah continues to explore and evolve as an artist, we eagerly anticipate the future masterpieces she will create and the impact her work will undoubtedly have on the art world.
