Leaving the country in 1953 to study in San Francisco, Zalameda later continued his education at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des BeauxArts and the Sorbonne in Paris. This odyssey left him with an oeuvre that boasts of European flair. Despite that inclination, however, Filipino themes continue to grace his magnificent canvases.<br /><br />Throughout his career, Zalameda has created multiple depictions of flower vendors. Usually comprised of women with flowers either at hand or in pots, Zalameda’s vendors are an interesting outlook into the beauty of the Philippines through the lives of everyday people. With the lot at hand, his delineated shapes and muted jewel tones depict the titular flower vendor in his unmistakable cubist style. Her posture is relaxed, and the easiness with which she carries the bundle of flowers suggests this to be a common occurrence for her. Perhaps she is in the middle of doing her work of rearranging the flowers or maybe she is gathering the flowers bought by a customer. In any way, Zalameda’s elegant and contrasting colors combined with his introspective folk scenery opens its doors wide for its viewers to take a closer look and contemplate its possible meaning.
