Zachary Sasim (also known as Zakhar) has been a painter most of his life. While working professionally for 12 years in Bulgaria, he gradually crafted a unique impressionistic style marked by wild and passionate play of colors created by combining traditional brush strokes and palette knife technique. Since moving to the United States in 2004, Zachary has earned the recognition and respect of the Washington DC community while working at Eastern Market as well as local art festivals.


His bright and colorful paintings have found homes not only in numerous residential houses around the Greater Washington D.C area, but also in federal government offices. Several United States Senators and Members of Congress are among Zachary's patrons.


Zachary produces two types of art work: Original paintings (oil and acrylic) and Giclée (enhanced print on canvas of his original paintings).


Some of these artworks were created together with his father Nikolay Sasim, a professional artist based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria..


Besides original impressionistic paintings, Zachary is also involved in realistic commercial projects (Turbopolis, Metropolis, Megapolis, etc), created in a collaboration. As a writer and creator, Zachary was involved in the writing of two Hollywood projects (one (Garlic&Gunpowder) featuring actors Michael Madsen, Vivica Fox, and Lainie Kazan, and one (Stan the man) with songs by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees). ​
