Jaime Zapata (b.1957)
Ecuadorian painter Jaime Zapata graduated from the Art Faculty of the School of Plastic Arts at the Universidad Central de Quito in 1972.
In his young years, Zapata appears in the Ecuadorian visual arts.
An oil in canvas called Melele , got a mention at the II Plastic Arts National Conquest in the Central Bank.
The artist based his current work in painting and especially in his own ability, a very special intuition and a deep observation of the masters.
His first cycle, is defined for his solid qualities in realism in which his work is seen.
His training is completed with his work realized in Lima, at the workshop of the Spanish artist, Gayo who taught him some techniques and many secrets.
Later, in Chile, he contacted Thomas Daskam, a realist whose work inspired Zapata for continuing in his intended path.
His second individual exhibition still had Daskan´s influence and took him close to hyperrealism border.
