The Artist

Zack Zublena, Fine Art Photography Los Angeles

Zack Zublena is a French-American fine art photographer of Italian origin, based in Los Angeles. Since 2016, he has photographed dancers, yogis, contortionists and athletes painted in gold, turning the human body into luminous, sculptural forms.

Zack's journey with gold began in Los Angeles in 2016, when he started painting his models with reflective gold body paint, and in some works with genuine 24K gold leaf, before photographing them in the studio. What began as a visual experiment became a distinctive artistic language: the human figure reduced to form, gesture, shadow and light.

His inspiration comes from the Italian Renaissance, from Michelangelo to the Sistine Chapel. His family name comes from Zubiena, a small village in northern Italy known for its Gold Museum, and in 2026 he studied at the Accademia del Giglio in Florence.

Every image is made with real people, real paint and real light. Never AI.

For Hotels and Interior Designers

Zack Zublena creates Exclusive Art for Los Angeles Interiors and for hospitality projects worldwide. His limited edition prints, in editions of only 10, are made for luxury hotels, wellness clubs, restaurants, spas, private residences and collectors.

His work is on permanent display in more than 120 David Lloyd Clubs across the United Kingdom and Europe, and in interiors such as The Cellar and Skin Rehab in Beverly Hills.

Zack's work has been featured in Watkins Mind Body Spirit magazine, VoyageLA, on the cover of Awakened Magazine, and by the art platform Singulart. He was a speaker at the Conscious Life Expo 2025 in Los Angeles, and he is the author of the book The Sacred Frequency of Gold.

In 2026, Zack began Golden Heroes, a series of portraits of Paralympic athletes painted in gold, celebrating strength and resilience ahead of the LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Before devoting himself to fine art photography, Zack trained at an acting school in Paris and worked as an actor in film and television in France and in Hollywood. That experience shaped his sense of light, gesture and storytelling, which he now brings to every photograph.

Gold Body Paint Photography Experience

Zack also offers private gold body paint photoshoots in Los Angeles, for individuals and couples, from the body painting to the final fine art photographs.
