Zoltan Veevaete was born on July 13th, 1981 in Montreal. He is a multidisciplinary artist who makes use of a mixture of materials and historical genres as a visual language. He works with painting, CGI and video and employs these tools to build bridges that can lead to explorations between various XR virtual media and material works. Zoltan questions and revisits the principles of classical figurative painting by juxtaposing them with projected computer generated images. The development of painting, the history of perspective, immersion through light-based illusion as well as material triviality are the conceptual guidelines of his work. A painter first and foremost, he skilfully uses historical references and technical notions gleaned from classical European painting such as perspective and chiaroscuro to create multilayered works that valorize light and its pictorial representation.

Zoltan completed the BFA program (major in drawing-painting) at Concordia University (2008-2011). A recipient of the Cecil Buller-John /J.A. Murphy Scholarship in Drawing, he was recruited by the Montreal-based Galerie Robert Poulin and took part in many exhibitions, notably at Salon Zürcher in Paris and Galerie d’Art d’Outremont. His works are included in private collections such as those of the City of Ottawa and Senvest. Following his acceptance to the MFA program Ottawa University (2016-2018), Zoltan added digital art to his practice. He subsequently participated in a projection on the UQAM pavilion (Surface 2018) and he mapped Sanra Chevrier's mural work during the MURAL Festival of Montreal (2018). As part of his solo exhibition at the COA gallery (2019), Zoltan showed augmented works and a mapped installation. He presented light orchestrations over the course of many exhibitions: at the gallery WIP Montréal, gallery Neverapart and Nuit Blanche (2019 and 2020 editions). Zoltan participated in the international MURAL Festival of Montréal with a mapped mural that evolved over four weeks (2021).
