Bio:

 

Emil Alzamora was born in Lima, Peru 1975, and raised in Boca Grande, Florida. He later attended Florida State University where he graduated magna cum laude in 1998 earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts. He started his sculpting career in the Hudson Valley working with Polich Art Works as an enlarger in the fall of 1998. Since his departure from P.A.W. in early 2001, he has produced and shown his work regularly throughout New York, Boston, Maine, and Florida. He currently lives and works in Beacon, New York.

Artist Statement:

The human form is a constant within my work. I am interested in exploring what it means to inhabit one, often exaggerating or distorting different aspects of the form to reveal an emotional or physical situation, or to tell a story about a predicament or an occurrence. The space between limitation and potential is as human as the flesh, yet hardly as tangible. In my works I strive to make visible this interaction.
