Zach DePolo grew up in a creative environment shaped by his surroundings, family heritage, and culture. Time spent in his mother’s art studio and classrooms, alongside his father’s law office and City Council meetings, profoundly influenced his artistic vision.

Intrigued by the world around him, Zach creates works that respond to his experiences. He experiments with various mediums, blending classical techniques with unconventional methods while exploring historical significance, current events, and dreams of future worlds.

With over 25 years of creative experience, his work encompasses private commissions, public art projects, grants, and both micro-independent and macro-studio productions. He has painted murals, created ceramic works, and sculpted, while also contributing over 40 projects in the film industry as an art director, prop master, set dresser, and production designer. Additionally, he teaches art to adults, children, and at-risk youth, actively serving his community.

For Zach, the journey of exploration and the meaning behind his creations are as significant as the final product.
