GLORIA ZAPATA

As an artist, my mission is to provide creative art, including paintings, murals, and photography, while teaching and inspiring the youth. I also offer workshops for clients interested in exploring their own creativity. My work demonstrates a commitment to dynamic growth within the community, aiming to attract potential clients and investors who share this vision.

I specialize in silhouette portrait paintings that use single colors to convey deep emotional expression. Currently, I'm working on a series of black-and-white portraits with vibrant backgrounds, featuring legendary Hip-Hop icons, celebrities, artists, and personal connections. This series is designed to inspire and empower while celebrating both individuality and shared culture.

Through my art, I aim not just to tell my story, but to give a voice to those who need encouragement and healing. My passion for creating and teaching continues to show the community—and the world—that art can make a powerful and colorful difference.
