Mario Zarza Zárraga

Mexico City, 1983

Self-taught, with a strong propensity for non-concession in themes, formats and
materials, he has made his production since 2012.
Abstraction, texture, complex simplification, gesturality; in painting, much
fleshiness, callosity; black humor and rawness. In sculpture, steel rules in
hardness, ductility and expression: wounds and sutures. Cerebral, visceral and direct proposal. The
naked matter. Volumes of ingenious angles that always take you to other places, depths and paths.

His work is part of private collections in Mexico and the United States.
