Join us in welcoming 12 year old prodigy Zoya Eshwar!
Live Remote Reception:
Saturday July 19th, 2025 4-8Pm
Zoya Eshwar, a 12-year-old artist from the Seattle area, has gained international recognition for her artistic talent and her contributions to peace advocacy through her work with the Global Peace Initiative. Selected after a year-long global search, Zoya was chosen to design a monumental 21-foot peace sculpture for the war-torn Middle East, set to be unveiled in late 2025. This sculpture, made from repurposed shell casings from conflict zones, transforms symbols of destruction into a message of hope and unity. Her design incorporates a dove, a universal symbol of peace, extending an olive branch that transitions into a paintbrush, with a wristband symbolizing friendship and connection. This concept reflects her artistic vision and her belief in art as a tool for healing and fostering global harmony.
Zoya’s philosophy, “let’s spread colors in everybody’s life – one step at a time,” encapsulates her approach to both art and philanthropy. She began creating art at the age of 2½, and her work has since been exhibited in prestigious venues across the nation. Her art blends vibrant creativity with a deep sense of purpose, often conveying messages of peace and positivity.
Through her platform, Zoya’s Rainbow Touch, she shares her artistic journey and promotes her mission of combining creativity with social good. This initiative highlights her early start in art and her commitment to using her talent for philanthropy, inspiring others to embrace creativity as a means of connection and change. Her selection for the Peace Monument project underscores her ability to convey profound themes at a young age, positioning her as a prodigious talent with a global impact.
Join us at Gallery725 Saturday July 19th, 2025 4-8 pm for a reception of Zoya’s latest works. She will join us remotely from her Seattle studio from 6-7pm to elaborate on her works, show off her studio and discuss her upcoming monument.
This event is a preview of our upcoming “Viva Art Vegas” event September 19th – 21st, 2025, where we will join Zoya in Las Vegas for the unveiling of the Peace Monument maquette (a scale model to visualize before a full-scale project is created) of which each is hand painted by Zoya. A two foot (edition of 15) and six foot (edition of 9) maquette will be available for purchase. This collectors trip will include cocktail receptions, an art auction, dinner and shows. This is the opportunity to chat with Zoya in person about her works, her visions for the future and how she is trying to change peoples lives through her works; in addition to becoming a collector of one of the maquettes.
When you acquire a Peace Monument maquette, your family name will be engraved on the Monument in recognition of your contribution to realization of the full scale monument and your hope for peace in the Middle East. In addition you will receive VIP passes to the official unveiling of the Peace Monument, and all related Gala receptions and performances surrounding the unveiling.
As if this isn’t exciting enough, The UK’s Commonwealth Mint has now commissioned Zoya to adorn a set of Proof Gold & Silver coins commemorating her Middle East Monument, making her the youngest artist in history to have her art designs used on legal tender coins. Available at the Las Vegas event for a special prepublication price.
