Zaida Oenema's work is characterized by extreme eye-hand precision while exploring color, reductive forms, and geometric patterns. She employs pastel and watercolor, scalpel and soldering iron, to create immersive compositions devoid of central focal points. The grid is a foundational element for Oenema, providing a framework for both order and freehand drawing with her tools. "I see my work as a score consisting of a continuo, or the base—the grid in my case—over which the melody weaves itself and where my hand-cutting and burning provide the right vibration. The concentration or focus is inherent to my work." Emphatically, her process is marked by the rigor of human touch rather than mechanical construct.
