Four years later, Zoya had her first solo exhibition in London, where her creative works were featured in art magazines and her work became well known to the public. In 2009, Zoya opened a contemporary art exhibition space in Monaco called "La Vitrine" (The Show Window). In September 2014, La Vitrine was featured on the big screen in Times Square in New York City, marking the 5th anniversary of the independent contemporary art space in one of the smallest countries in the world.
