Made up of paintings, drawings and sculptures as a body of work, my artistic practice is highly committed to actions such as walking, observing and collecting.
A key aspect of Zamora's practice is the way he plays with the fracturing of memory. His way of painting is random and fragmented, mimicking the way we store and recall our memories. The result is works that move between mimesis and abstraction, in which shapes and colours are deconstructed and reconstructed in a process that reflects the episodic and non-linear nature of memory itself.
