“The audience I address is everyone who dares to see beauty in creation, anyone who allows themselves to be inspired about freedom, all who believe in tenderness, while remembering to keep our sense of humor alive through good and bad times”. (Zarum)

Zarum combines in an original manner brutal, bold, lively, anxious, glad and provocative expressions with round, sensual forms, and interlaced with a generous amount of humor. Thus he creates his very own worldview in which people and feelings hold a central position.

"If Karel Appel would meet Picasso, add a bit aboriginal influence and there is Zarum. Very good and very different, that's what it is." (Niek de Kruif)

"Uncommon, Mystical and Original
The art of Zarum is well presented on his official web site, www.zarum.net. What one can expect to see is art that is very uncommon and a little bit mystic, but certainly original in style. Of course it would be better if one could see the paintings in person. One should certainly get to a Zarum exhibit when possible. Having said that, in looking at the paintings on the web site, one gets a strange feeling that it's not 'me' who's looking at the art, but it is the art that is looking at me with their ever present all-knowing eyes. This is powerful work which holds the viewer even in its digital photographic reproductions over the internet. " (tripod.com review)

"Zarum is a painter and sculpture with a unique original and captivating style. The ‘Art of Zarum’, critics say, is a blend of mystical, sensual and emotional outreach. The art is fresh, bold, imaginative and stimulating. It has been described as a crossroads between Picasso and Appel with a dash of aboriginal influence, but nevertheless original. The works exude a passion for love, relationships and soulful intimacy, with a touch of humor — tasteful, colorful, stylistic and commercially viable."
"Zarum’s work has been shown in Canada, the US and in Europe to great acclaim. Most of the works have sold mostly to private collectors at highly respectable prices which reflect not only a belief in the current value of the work, but to its increasing value as the acclaim grows. Zarum is a Canadian with roots around the world."
