"Painting without painting" is the paradoxical synthesis of the work of Pedro Zamora, where discarded cards and books become the main raw material.
Writes Manuel Fontán del Junco - Juan March Foundation: "As an artist, Pedro Zamora applied to painting, which traditionally belongs to the art of adding, to the art of subtracting, typical of sculpture. (This may be due to his other vocation, which participates in both arts: architecture). Therefore, his work is that of a type of radical contemplative ascetic..."
The desire to Pedro Zamora of making "painting without painting", almost without art (and almost without a painter); to create a work where he "paints nothing", in an almost imperceptible way; of dedicating yourself to what no one wants, of making art almost without doing it; ...all of this makes him almost immune to the artist's fear that his work will not last, because he assumes that it is almost nothing, that it was made without "further pretensions" and that, in the end, it can only be destroyed what was built and, therefore, the art that is most alive is the one that cannot be killed because it pretends to be dead.
