Hugo Zamora Luna, a native of Mexico City, has over 28 years of experience in this discipline. His first contact with bonsai was at sixteen, when he took a basic course that sparked a lifelong passion. In 2000, he began giving demonstrations, presentations, and workshops at local conferences in Mexico City and, soon after, in various states across the country. Since 2001, he has been teaching bonsai courses and, for six years, was head of the Teaching and Didactics Department of the Mexican Bonsai Federation.
In 2015, he completed his formal training in Japan, under the tutelage of Master Kunio Kobayashi, at the Shunka-en Museum.

His international career has led him to participate as a demonstrator in major events, including several editions of the International Congress of the Latin American and Caribbean Bonsai Federation and the World Bonsai Convention, as well as numerous conventions in the United States. He has visited more than twenty countries as a demonstrator, juror, curator of private collections and museums, speaker, and workshop leader, with a prominent presence in Latin America, the United States, Europe, and several Asian countries. This international experience has allowed him to develop a broad and versatile vision that combines Japanese tradition with new creative trends and the cultural richness of the places where he has worked.

His work encompasses conifers, deciduous trees, and tropical species, from classic Japanese bonsai to avant-garde proposals that incorporate deadwood, landscapes, and innovative compositions. For him, more than simply providing beautiful trees in a demonstration or workshop, his goal is to help each student perfect their techniques and cultivate a deeper aesthetic sensibility. His philosophy focuses on the fusion of styles, schools, techniques, and cultures, making his work a unique offering that conveys what he calls "bonsai with soul."
