HAZA is an artist based out of New York City.
HAZA was born in New York City in 1999 and is a first generation American whose parents immigrated from Ireland and England.
HAZA graduated from Pace University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in the field of Information Technology in 2021.
After developing an interest in French prison style tattoos HAZA began studying tattooing in January of 2020. He started working as an assistant at Bandit Tattoo Studio whilst developing his own unique drawing style. By December of 2022 HAZA began what is now recognized as the first series of drawings in his new style, which consist of creating shapes that are composed by referencing Architecture, furniture and jewelry, which are then used to create compositions that focus on figures, environments and structures ranging from glassware to buildings. HAZA aims to communicate himself in a way that the artist describes as “emotionally familiar.” He wants to create a connection between his work and his audience in which they can view themselves in his vulnerability.
He hopes to achieve this by exploring his various inspirations which range from childhood memories to his growing interest in Photography and Design.
