Biography
Maxi Zamora is a Chilean street artist based in Valparaíso, the UNESCO-listed port city celebrated for its architectural exuberance and constant mural activity. Trained within the graffiti scene of the port's hillside neighborhoods, he has built a figurative practice centered on Chilean popular memory.
His vocabulary revolves around child figures painted with tender realism, drawn from shared memories — courtyard games, kites, spinning tops, wooden carts racing down the port's slopes. The artist turns the urban stairway into a narrative stage, adapting each mural to the architectural constraints of cobbled passages.
Since 2019 he has been transforming the stairs of Pasaje Gálvez in Cerro Concepción in successive cycles: first a boy flying a kite, then children on carts, and in 2024 'El Luche' — little girls playing traditional hopscotch. This evolving triptych puts his work in dialogue with the vernacular heritage of the port.
