Zack Zublena is featured in the Summer 2026 edition of Watkins Mind Body Spirit, one of the world’s longest-established publications devoted to spirituality, consciousness and personal transformation.

The feature, titled The Sacred Frequency of Gold — An Interview with Zack Zublena, begins on page 28 of Issue 86. Through an in-depth conversation, Zack discusses the ideas and personal experiences that have shaped his relationship with gold, his fine art photography and his wider creative philosophy.

The Sacred Frequency of Gold
The interview explores gold beyond its conventional association with material wealth. For Zack, gold carries an ancient symbolic significance connected to light, spiritual sovereignty and humanity’s innate creative potential.
He describes gold as an element forged within stars and later embedded in the Earth—a material whose cosmic origins mirror its enduring spiritual importance across civilizations.
The conversation also examines how gold became central to Zack’s artistic practice and his distinctive Gold Body Painting and Fine Art Photography Experience. By painting the human body in gold and photographing it as fine art, he seeks to reveal the strength, beauty and luminous presence already contained within the individual.

Art, Beauty and the Inner Self
During the interview, Zack reflects on the role of beauty in communicating ideas that transcend language. He compares his creative approach to Michelangelo’s belief that the figure already existed within the marble and that the artist’s role was simply to reveal it.
In Zack’s work, gold serves a similar purpose. Rather than concealing the person, it becomes a visual language through which the human form can be perceived differently—outside familiar identities, social roles and habitual self-perception.
The resulting photographs explore the relationship between physical form and inner presence, transforming the body into an image of radiance, balance and symbolic power.

Gold, Creativity and Spiritual Sovereignty
The interview moves beyond aesthetics to consider the relationship between gold and sovereignty. Zack speaks about sovereignty as an inward state: independence of spirit, freedom from limiting systems and the ability to recognize one’s intrinsic worth.
He also discusses how working closely with gold has affected his creativity and perception. Gold is not simply a decorative surface in his practice. It becomes a point of focus through which light, presence and creative intention converge.
These ideas are explored more fully in his book, The Sacred Frequency of Gold — Humanity’s Blueprint for Awakening.
