Zariel Mateen

Meet Zariel Mateen, an 8-year-old artist diagnosed with mild autism whose imagination comes to life through his drawings.

Zariel has a remarkable eye for the world around him, finding immense joy in translating what he observes into art. His creative process is largely inspired by the videos he watches and the vibrant array of things that capture his current fascination. Rather than following a strict template, Zariel’s collection is a delightful, unfiltered window into his mind—showcasing one of his many wonderful, spontaneous, and random artworks. Through his drawings, Zariel shares his unique perspective and invites us to see the world through his exceptionally creative eyes."
