“Anyway, stone is his vocation and his destiny, and this is undoubtedly the reason for the singular sensation of timelessness that his work gives us. Its voluntary evasion of the labyrinths of history to be, like the mountains, rivers or stars, contemporary to all ages. […] Zapata is a caresser of stone, a lover of its massive reality. And theirs is less a rational task than a sensory one, an exercise of touch, of gaze and of imagination.” See less
