Zmicier Zhaunou is an artist and illustrator from Belarus.

He describes himself as an "unmerited artist of the BSSR" and defines his style as a "pictorial meme, cheerful and angry." His work focuses on processing personal and collective pain through sincere artistic imagery, often combined with irony. His style can be summarized as "nothing clear, but interesting."

He has also spoken about street art as a form of direct interaction with the public, where artists can observe genuine reactions and become both participants and subjects of the performance. He describes this process as leaving a personal "geotag" in space, where the artwork continues to exist independently after creation.

Zhaunou also emphasizes the accessibility of street art, noting that while many people do not actively seek out galleries, street art reaches them directly in everyday life, making it an important and democratic form of artistic expression.
