JAMES ZAMORA
As a realist painter I am attracted to the technical complexities of everyday life. My paintings reflect all the characteristics from the visual relationships our eyes register to the subtleties of the subconscious. My paintings are often associated with photorealism, but as one inspects the paintings closer there is evidence of human presence. Just as when someone zooms into a photograph there will eventually be pixels, one can zoom into my paintings and see brushstrokes. I welcome the painterly character of my paintings while adding in the amount of details my eyes are able to record.
