Zinta Jaunitis is a London-based visual artist, born in Australia

and of Latvian heritage, working across drawing and print. 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 a wide range of references, including art history, literature, memory, and

the everyday.

​

Blurring the boundaries between observation and imagination,

Zinta works with responsive materials such as ink, charcoal, and pastel to explore movement through mark-making. She is especially drawn to folding formats—such as the leporello and, more recently, the folding screen—which allow her to create lyrical, dreamlike imagery that unfolds through space and time. These structures invite narratives to emerge, revealing and concealing meaning through association and chance.

​​

At the heart of her practice is the dynamic interplay between chance and control. Zinta embraces playful constraints—drawing with her non-dominant hand, or responding to arbitrary prompts—to build layers and invite the unexpected into her process.

​

Since 2020, she has been playing seriously in her London studio, exhibiting nationally and internationally. Her work was selected for the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2023 and 2024, and she is represented by Woolwich Contemporary Editions for her original prints. Her work is also held in the permanent collection of Domaine Mirabeau in the south of France.

Zinta is a member of Monday Night collective, an international group of artists creating zines that explore art, storytelling, and narratives.​
