About the artist 

I do not paint to decorate. I paint to awaken.

Each canvas is a relic of emotion—fragmented stories stitched together with light, shadow, and dreams. I am Manuela Ursu, known in the realm of visions as Zataea, a self-taught artist guided by intuition more than technique, by feeling more than rules.

Born beneath Romanian skies and raised by folklore and stars, my work dances between the seen and the unseen. A single stroke can carry the weight of silence, a single color can reveal what words dare not. My signature style blends cosmic surrealism with symbolic elements—puzzle pieces, fractured hearts, constellations—each one echoing the quiet wars we fight within.

I do not believe in boundaries. My work flows from brush to sculpture, from digital dreamscapes to raw canvas. And soon, it will flow into tradition, into roots, into the spirit of a new series that reclaims Romanian motifs through a modern, otherworldly lens.

Zataea is not just a name. She’s my alter-essence. And every artwork I create is an invitation—for you to remember that you, too, are stardust wrapped in a human story.

Being harmonious and elegant, my art works are not only conversation starters but also gives the patron a moment of meditation and deep spiritual thought.
