Marco Zamora : Urban Imagery



Marco Zamora creates initially monochromatic imagery through a collage of different sources. These creations are then focused and heightened with the specific introduction of colour. These images are a calculated study of the human condition yet they are striking and beautiful also.



Marco's website states, "Marco Zamora was born and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. In 2004 he graduated from California Institute of the Arts, with a Bachelor of Fine Art. Using the paintbrush and pen to draw, Marco develops imagery about the urban landscape and the people that inhabit it. Producing a richly complex and experimental image, Marco goes into a neighborhood and shoots a spot, recontectualizing and collaging figures to create each paintings identity. City life, his culture, color/scale experimentation, and the working class have influenced his artwork. Splitting his time between painting and apparel design, Marco's recent work can be seen in a variety of Van's ads and collaboration projects as well as galleries up and down the west coast."
