Juan Zamora deals with issues intimately related to human existence. His work is based on drawing as an artistic position; he investigates complex concepts using simple, basic, gestural, and direct language. Zamora gets close to the viewer through the characters, space and situations he depicts on paper, mixing imagination with reality.

Zamora (born 1982, Madrid) studied art at the CES Felipe II, Madrid; AKI University of Enschede, Netherlands; and the European University of Madrid, where he currently works as a professor of art, design and architecture. Recent solo shows include Replay, Moriarty Gallery, Madrid; Where One Sun, Domus Artium (DA2), Salamanca; and Yes I Am, Gallery Beijing Space, Beijing. Group exhibitions include Nulla Dies Sine Linea, Freies Museum, Berlin, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, and Instituto Cervantes of Chicago; Time to Come to Avenge, ATRIUM, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain; Everyday Stories, Hellenic American Union, Athens; and Phantasmagoria Cartoons, ICO Museum, Madrid.
