Dainis Zakis is an Adelaide-based mixed media artist who transitioned into the art world after retiring as an accountant in 2015. He holds a Bachelor of Contemporary Art and completed a Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours) at the University of South Australia in 2019. Dainis collaborates with various tools to create his work, aiming to discover new and unexpected outcomes. He is continuously exploring and experimenting with various techniques to develop his craft.
Dainis’ artworks are abstract and originate from his own imagination, with the sole purpose of being visually appealing. The digital format allows for versatility in the presentation of his creations, as they can be modified in medium, size, and orientation.
Currently, Dainis is working on a concept that aims to imbue each copy of an artifact with a unique identity by introducing an element of randomness into the creation process, resulting in subtle variations with each iteration.
His works are meant to be appreciated through the viewer’s personal instincts and experience, without any prerequisite knowledge or the need to decipher hidden messages. Dainis follows a philosophy of “it is what it is” when creating his art.

This Refund Policy (“Policy”) applies to the following purchases: Gallery and Online Sales
We offer refunds, repairs and replacements in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law and on the terms set out in this Refund Policy (“Policy”).
Any benefits set out in this Policy may apply in addition to consumer’s rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Before making a purchase, please read this Policy so that you can understand your rights and what you can expect from us if you are not satisfied with your order.
Under the Australian Consumer Law:
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled
to cancel your service contract with us; and
to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
We offer refunds, repairs, and replacements in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.
The Australian Consumer Law provides a set of Consumer Guarantees which protect consumers when they buy products and services.
If the Australian Consumer Law applies, then we cannot avoid the Consumer Guarantees which it provides. If there is an inconsistency between this Policy and the Australian Consumer Law, the Australian Consumer Law will prevail.
Further information about the Australian Consumer Law and these Consumer Guarantees is available from the website of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
If a product or service which you purchased from us has a major failure (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law) then you may be entitled to a replacement or refund. You may also be entitled to compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage resulting from that major failure.
If a product or service which you purchased from us has a failure which does not amount to a major failure (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law) then you may still be entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced.
We do not offer any refund if you change your mind, or find the same product or service cheaper elsewhere.
In the event that the product you ordered has been damaged during delivery:
Please contact us as soon as possible.
Any damaged product must be returned in the condition in which it was received, together with any packaging and other items which you received with the damaged product.
We will arrange to repair or collect the damaged product and replace it with an equivalent product, or to refund it, provided that you have contacted us within 5 days from the date of receiving the product.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Policy, we may refuse to provide a repair, replacement or refund for a product or service purchased by you if:
You misused the said product in a way which caused the problem.
You knew or were made aware of the problem(s) with the product or service before you purchased it.
You asked for a service to be done in a certain manner, or you asked for alterations to a product, against our advice, or you were unclear about what you wanted.
Any other exceptions that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.
In the event that a product you have purchased fails to meet one or more Consumer Guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, we shall bear any cost of shipping the said product (the “Returned Product”) back to us, as well as any cost of shipping any replacement product to you.
If the Returned Product can easily be shipped or returned, then you are responsible for organising for the Returned Product to be returned to us. If the Returned Product is eligible for a repair, replacement or refund under the terms of this Policy (including under the Australian Consumer Law) then we will reimburse you for the reasonable postage, shipping or transportation costs for the Returned Product.
If the Returned Product is too large, too heavy, or otherwise too difficult to be removed and returned by you, and is believed to be eligible for a repair, replacement or refund under the terms of this Policy (including under the Australian Consumer Law), then we will organise for the postage, shipping, transportation or collection of the Returned Product, at our cost.
In the event that we organise and pay for the inspection, postage, shipping, transportation or collection of a Returned Product, and it turns out not to be eligible for a repair, replacement or refund under the terms of this Policy (including under the Australian Consumer Law), then you will be required to pay the costs of any inspection, postage, shipping, transportation or collection of the Returned Product.
We aim to process any requests for repairs, replacements or refunds within 5 days of receipt.
You can contact us at the end of this Policy to discuss a return using the information.
Unless otherwise defined in our sole discretion, we shall pay all refunds in the same form as the original purchase or to the same account or credit card used to make the original purchase.
To be eligible for a refund, repair or replacement, you must provide proof of purchase.
You may be required to provide a government issued identification to qualify for a refund, repair or replacement.
