"When the Face Becomes a Mirror: A New Issue, A New Reflection"

Sometimes, what begins with a brushstroke ends in a revelation.

While creating a portrait of Marie Antoinette, I thought I was painting someone else.  
But layer after layer, I realized:  
It wasn’t her.  
It was me.

"Cover of ZINE May 2025 issue by Liya Ella Raspberry — featuring a self-portrait inside the studio, blending artistic process and emotional reflection."

This May, the second issue of ZINE by Let Z Be will be released — a deeply personal chapter, told through paint, self-reflection, and bold imagery.  
It’s a journey through identity, womanhood, and what it means to truly see yourself.

In the newest collection, you’ll find a set of four original small-format paintings — each of them a variation on the same face.  
I didn’t change the face.  
I just allowed myself to see it differently.
