About
Breznanikova is a Vogue published photographer / image maker known for her unique aesthetics and the cinematic feel to her photography. Her credits include Harrods, D&G, Prada, Ski Dior, Moncler, Rolls Royce and Armani. She had a photography studio in London and was a regular contributor to Art + Commerce / Vogue Italia photography collection. As a photographer she has been commissioned to photograph with Harrods and for some of the most high profile individuals in the world, including royalty.
Breznanikova's original artwork often displays the harmony of classic high art juxtaposed with modern technology. She has had a meteoric rise to become one of the top ranking independent artists on the largest NFT marketplace OpenSea in the summer of 2021. Her artwork has been displayed in art galleries and a virtual museum in Decentraland's Voltaire district.
Born out of the strong emotions she felt when she sadly lost a few people close to her through cancer and a tragic accident. Although a highly emotional period in her life, through the creation of her artwork she was able to find catharsis.
"Life is short, fragile and does not wait for anyone. There will never be a perfect time to pursue your dreams and goals."
It is this sentiment that was going through the artist's head when she was creating her artwork. In fact, this is the fire that burns within Zuzana & drives her to create and share art and support emerging artists.
The Story
This is a story of synthesis.
Bringing together disparate elements that have combined to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
It begins with an inquisitive, introverted 13 year old receiving a camera from her father. This lit a fire within an ambitious child who had a unique gift to see the beauty in the mundane. Her apprenticeship started in the old school, spending hours learning how to develop photos in the darkroom. This instilled an appreciation for the craft and the dedication it takes to create something meaningful.
Photography also sparked a curiosity into the inner workings of the human psyche. She loved to photograph people, but also wanted to go beyond the surface and gain a better understanding of her favourite subjects, and find out what makes us the way we are. Thus, she embarked on a higher education calling to study psychology in a foreign land, where she had no friends or family. By taking herself out of her comfort zone, she was able to develop her resilience and determination, eventually leading to her graduating top of her class.
Armed with more knowledge and experience, she continued to hone her craft as a creator. By this time technology had caught up to her vision and she was now able to capture photographs in a way that started to turn heads. Her raw honest style became popular within the fashion community, leading to features in iconic publications such as Vogue.
She dedicated her time to her great love - photography. It was at this time that Breznanikova started to learn about blockchain technology and became enthusiastic about its potential.
Life, as we know, has a way of sweeping the rug out from underneath us. And at a point where life was making sense, personal tragedy and loss struck. Dark days turned into dark months and Breznanikova was left with a feeling of marose.
However, from this darkness rose a beautiful serendipitous synthesis. The rise of NFT Art. Within this new age of creation Breznanikova recognised the culmination of her great passions of creativity, psychology and technology. She now had an outlet to display her creative flair, her insight into the human mind and the raw emotions that come from within her.
Breznanikova had found her true calling, and took up arms to join the art revolution. The hours and days merged into one, as she worked tirelessly to become an established cryptoartist. Running on pure passion.
Whilst working to better herself as an artist, Breznanikova also dreams of growing the space by helping other artists to develop as well as providing more and more benefits for her collectors. Through initiatives like the Breznanikova Diamond Art Club, she is changing the way that artists interact with their collectors and innovating utility within the NFT space. She shows her collectors her appreciation through airdrops and free / reduced token claims (check out her Discord for more).
Breznanikova has dedicated herself to being an NFT Artist and despite being years in the making, the journey has only just begun. Her aim is to grow her existing and future art collections, exhibit in art galleries and to make a real impact by bringing positive exposure to NFTs, charitable causes and continuing to support emerging artists with her art fund.
