In 1935 Beatriz Zamora was born in Mexico City. She studied mural painting with Jose Hernandez Delgadillo, ultimately marrying him. Later she studied ceramics with Jose Castano, and in 1972 traveled to Paris, and attended École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts .
Her professional work has focused on monochrome works in black. To achieve this she uses a variety of materials and mediums such as charcoal, obsidian, oxidized metals, semi-precious stones, etc. Through these means she creates a variety of surfaces, textures. She has stated "...black is the theme because it is the absolute, it is cosmic and it implies the common and the sublime as part of life itself..."
Although Zamora has struggled to profit from her work commercially, she has received grants, been recognized and exhibited in Mexico and abroad.
