Rodrigo Zamora (b. 1970, Santiago de Chile)
A visual artist working across painting, drawing, and sculpture, with watercolor as his primary medium. His practice is grounded in walking, observing, and collecting, drawing inspiration from public and transitional spaces. Zamora’s work reflects personal narratives through contemplative, metaphorical landscapes, exploring how we perceive and fragment memory and environment. His paintings, characterized by randomness and fragmentation, echo the non-linear nature of memory, blending mimesis with abstraction.
A graduate in Visual Arts from the University of Chile, Zamora has received numerous grants, including FONDART and Chile–Mexico artist exchange programs. He has participated in residencies in Uruguay (2017), China (2019), and the USA (2022). His solo exhibitions include Galería The Mission (Chicago), Galería Patricia Ready (Santiago), and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Santiago). His work has been shown internationally and is held in collections across the globe.
We’re thrilled to announce that Galería Isolina Arbulu will make its debut at VOLTA Basel 2025, joining forces with Tamara Kreisler Gallery for a powerful joint exhibition. Featuring six visionary artists, the show explores themes of memory, identity, and our evolving connection to nature and society through ceramics, textiles, oil painting, and industrial materials.
Rodrigo Zamora captures the fleeting essence of recollection in his watercolors, while Javier de Juan reinterprets mythological narratives in dialogue with contemporary issues. Marie Isabelle Poirier-Troyano, a 2025 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize finalist, blends traditional textile techniques with modern aesthetics to explore personal transformation.
From Tamara Kreisler Gallery, Gerard Fernández Rico reshapes industrial materials into bold sculptural forms, María Luisa de Mendoza evokes the metaphysical in urban landscapes, and Andrés Anza—winner of the 2024 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize—immerses viewers in ceramic ecosystems that blur natural and abstract forms.
VOLTA returns to its founding city of Basel this June to celebrate 20 years of championing cutting-edge creativity and serving as a trusted platform within the emerging contemporary art market. Taking place just steps from Art Basel at a new venue near Messeplatz, the fair will host over 70 galleries from 28 countries and feature focused solo presentations, a Middle East North Africa Pavilion, and a spotlight on Swiss galleries. A true meeting point for collectors and curators in search of fresh narratives, VOLTA invites you to engage with artists and gallerists shaping the future of contemporary art.
We’re honored to be part of this landmark edition and look forward to welcoming you in Basel.
