BIO

Born in 1981.
Marco Zamora currently lives and works in Los Angeles California. In 2004 he graduated from California Institute of the Arts, with a bachelor of Fine art. A painter by trade, his work can be seen mostly on the west coast, but has shown in Barcelona, Miami, and Copenhagen. Zamora has also been commissioned by companies such as Vans. His work is a direct product of his inspiration, which includes urban conditions, the chaos of city life, awkward moments, cycling and the working class. Using the paintbrush to draw, his process begins by constructing an environment from his photographs. Figures are then conceptualized and added to fit his vision. The result creates a beautiful and complex tension between humankind and the urban landscape.
