1990年出生于墨西哥墨西哥城,2022年获英国卡迪夫都会大学纯艺学士。他的绘画通常描绘一个物体或人物,采用荧光绿或荧光蓝的色调,置于纯黑背景之上。这种强烈的对比让画中主体显得诡异、独特,甚至带有几分超自然的气息。

虽然塞拉亚的作品在表现手法上是典型的具象画,人物和物体的比例、光影、类型都精准清晰,但他也受到大量其他元素和风格的影响,包括勒内 · 马格里特 (René Magritte)、委拉斯开兹 (Diego Velázquez) 以及科幻电影。在很多画作中,他仿佛是一个个地挑选出物件或人物,为它们套上一层特定的视觉 “ 滤镜 ”。


Born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1990, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK in 2022. His paintings usually depict one object or person in fluorescent green or blue hues set against a completely black background. This dramatization of the subject makes it look strange, unique and almost supernatural. 

Whilst Zelaya’s paintings are straightforwardly figurative in the way they portray their subject: proportions, shadows, typology. Yet they also draw on a large number of influences including René Magritte, Diego Velázquez and sci-fi movies. In many paintings, Zelaya is almost taking objects and people one by one and applying a specific filter to look at them.
