General Juan Cano 103 Miguel Hidalgo C.P.11850
"Beatriz Zamora's work crystallized in black as the visible, material, and conceptual axis of her painting. If black is not merely the absence of light but the existence of space, Zamora uses it to create structure and reflection. Drawing from her research on black materials in nature, she demonstrates that black is the Earth's vital color, dwelling in its depths, as well as within our own."
