Her primary method of creating artwork is rooted in a profound study of the history of traditional and folklore art on one hand, and modern and contemporary art history on the other. The knowledge of the two strands – folklore and modern – has enabled her to deconstruct the bounds between them and construct her own linkages and concepts. Utilizing cartography and the principles of modeling maps, she has developed a unique approach to creating harmonious, minimalistic, and easily readable maps. Employing colors, masks, lines, and transformations from 3D to 2D models, her expertise in this area stems from a combination of extensive experience and a personal sensitivity to color and harmony.

This deep understanding and philosophy are manifested across various mediums, as she continually pushes boundaries and explores new platforms to craft her own artistic narrative using the language of art. Zlati is working on several projects – open-ended and shorter ones – in watercolors, photography, installations, digital art. The project "Random Walks of Happiness" employs most of her time recently. Simultaneously, she has started several interactive participatory art projects with educational purpose for the participants and herself, applying a direct hands-on approach, providing training in different techniques, color theories, and art principles, inspired by Josef and Anni Albers.

In two consecutive years (2022/2023), her flag designs were selected for display at the month-long Flag Project held at Rockefeller Center's Plaza. In 2023, the promotional video for the Flag Project prominently began featuring her distinctive flag design. These flags are currently housed at the Rockefeller Center. Beyond this notable recognition, she has actively engaged in exhibitions both in Italy and internationally, contributing to various charity exhibitions as part of her broader artistic endeavors.
