'Exposed': A one-woman painting exhibit at the Triumph Gallery
THIRTY-five paintings of abstract artist Ms. Zammerly Zamudio from the "Silver and Gold Series" and "The Gift Series" will be exhibited in a gallery for the first time. All paintings are done in mixed media, on paper and canvass, painted brushless.
Zamudio started painting in 1999. She was invited to paint the resort town of Kusadasi, Turkey in 2001. She was in hiatus as an artist for three years and went back to painting landscapes while she was still in Dubai, later focusing on abstracts.
Since exhibiting her paintings online in December 2004, Zamudio has received several invitations from galleries abroad to exhibit in London, Montreal, Santa Barbara, CA, Greece and New York. However, she felt that it would be great to have her first gallery exhibition in her own country. Having this in mind, she decided to go back to the Philippines in April 2005. She also had the strong calling for becoming a full time painter and took that leap of faith, three months after she went back home.
Zamudio recently launched her online twin galleries - The Zammerly Online Art Gallery II and The Mixed Media Art Gallery.
Looking back, Zamudio said she is glad about how her career as an artist has been unfolding. She's now ready to pursue international exhibitions, now that her wish of exhibiting back home has been granted.
She thanks her partner, for his support and faith in her art, her kids for their cooperation by giving her space and time when she needed it.
She also wishes to thank the owner and administrator of The Triumph Gallery Gigi Lim and her assistant Solomon Lalo, for making this exhibition possible.
Zamudio is a Filipina of mixed ancestry who lives in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for four years, after her trip from Turkey, where she found her true calling for painting. In April 2005, she went back to the Philippines to pursue her passion and calling - full time. She's an artist at heart - a painter, poet, writer and singer.
In 1993, She recorded an album of ten songs. She was a professional singer until the time she left for Turkey, where in 2001, she was invited to paint the resort city of Kusadasi by the Turkish Travel Association (Kutav and Tursab). (Press Release)
