Italian Renaissance
The Italian Renaissance Gold Collection
The Italian Renaissance Gold Collection is rooted in Zack Zublena's Italian heritage, which traces back to Zubiena, a small village in northern Italy that gave his family its name. More than photography, this body of work is a dialogue with history and a continuation of family lineage.
The collection draws on two distinct moments of Italian art. The first is antiquity: the frescoes, statues and fragments of daily life preserved at Pompeii, buried in 79 AD and rediscovered centuries later, where ideals of beauty, myth and the sacred remain frozen in time. The second is the Renaissance, when Florentine masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo looked back to classical antiquity and gave the human body a new sculptural grace, modeled by light emerging from shadow.
Zublena brings these two inheritances together in gold-painted figures set against aged, fresco-like textures. Masculine and feminine forms are illuminated with golden light, presented not as grand monuments but as intimate homages to the past, museum-quality limited edition prints with a contemporary sensibility.
