Zinta Jaunitis is a London-based visual artist working across

drawing and print. Born in Australia, she is of Latvian heritage.

With a background in art and design—holding a BA in Graphic Design and MAs in Visual Culture and Visual Arts—her practice draws on art history, literature, memory, and the everyday.

​

Blurring the boundaries between observation and imagination,

Zinta works with materials such as ink, charcoal, and pastel, enjoying their immediacy and unpredictable movement. Her approach favours spontaneous mark-making, where gestures emerge through responsiveness to material. She is especially drawn to folding formats—including the leporello and folding screen—which allow figures, motifs, and marks to extend across the pages, passing through space and time. Folding brings the work into dialogue with its spatial structure, where fragments suggest a narrative without fully forming one, inviting the viewer to navigate their own meaning. 

​

An interplay between chance and control informs her work:

playful constraints, such as drawing with her non-dominant hand

or responding to arbitrary prompts, build layers and allow the unexpected to emerge.

​

Since 2020, she has exhibited nationally and internationally. Zinta’s original prints are represented by Woolwich Contemporary Editions, and her work is held in international public and private collections.

In 2025, she was awarded the ACPS Women in Print Prize.

Zinta is a member of the Monday Night collective, an international group of artists creating zines exploring art, storytelling, and narrative.​
