Io Zárate is a newcastle based artist and I only became aware of her work about a year ago. Her inspiration lies in surrealism and Japanese culture and she often uses characters from various media in her work. Her vivid pictures depict a playfulness and her pictures are packed with colour.

| I really love the texture of the skin here |

| Io's use of lighting is really effective and I especially like the colorful highlights on her legs. |
I'm inspired to be like Io because her work is a unique take on manga and she has promoted herself well through her exhibitions in the UK as well as the USA. In order to gain notoriety I need to put myself out there and begin to make connections with other artists as well as galleries so that my work becomes more well known.
