ABOUT THE WORK

Oscar Zalameda’s art style evolved from Zobel-like to looser, more sophisticated cubism. He is also best known for his sense of color, intersecting and overlapping colors to achieve harmonies. Zalameda, a native of Lucban, Quezon, graduated with a fine arts degree at the University of Santo Tomas and pursued further studies in San Francisco and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1955, he also practiced mural techniques in Mexico. Zalameda has also exhibited his works in New York, Paris, Barcelona, Hamburg, Monte Carlo, and Milan. In 2006, he was conferred the Presidential Medal of Merit by former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
