[CREATIVE PURSUITS]
MINDFUL
ART
Tia Zoldan
(@tiazoldan.interiors)
shares her artistic
process.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
”My daughters
constantly inspire me.
I love exploring
museums or art
galleries with them on
the weekends.”
HOW DO YOU
UNWIND?
”For me, painting is a
meditation. I also walk
every day. In Hancock
Park there’s a village
center a minute away.
Not a day goes by
when I don’t walk up
that street.”
ANY NEW PROJECTS?
”Recently I’ve been
sculpting. Just like in
my interior design,
I love the texture and
making something you
can hold and feel.”
Inspired by a piece
she painted for the
room, Tia upholstered
an armchair in mauve
linen to emphasize
the tone. “I usually
decorate a room
and then fi ll in the art,
but here was this
color I wanted to
continue,” she says.
Tia emphasizes
pieces on the coff ee
table (like a ceramic
shoe Zoe sculpted)
by stacking books to
vary the heights.
On small walls, she
hangs one large
piece to create what
feels like its “own
little gallery,” in this
case a string of
plaster balls she
sculpted and
wrapped in wool.
Black grounds the
expansive white
interior. Tia painted
the fi replace black to
“update and enhance
the old architecture”
and stained the wood
fl oors to match. ■
MY ADVICE IS TO ALWAYS GO BIGGER
WITH ART AND FURNITURE, AND HANG ART
HIGH. IT EXPANDS YOUR SPACE. TIA ZOLDAN
