The Artist

JORGE ALONSO ZAPATA – born in Colombia ...

"Within my theme, the inclination for urban environments that make up the social fabric of the underworld "underground" stands out; everyday scenes that evoke social situations such as informal work, prostitution, drug addiction, life in bars and social subsistence, and memories of my childhood in the countryside” expressed the artist, Jorge Alonso Zapata.

For Jorge Alonso "it is important to approach his interlocutors without a prioris. They are part of a social reality that in Colombia has been either made invisible or very little represented in painting."
