Visual artist living and working between Buenos Aires and Paris, Zulema Maza creates work centered on feminine figures and their relationship with nature. Her symbolic universe draws inspiration from models, sex workers, and religious beliefs, which she explores through a rich and meaningful iconography. In recent years, she has focused particularly on the issue of migrant women in South America.

Among her distinctions are the First Honor Prize at the Egypt Triennial (2005), the Grand Honor Prize at the National Engraving Salon in Argentina, and two Konex diplomas naming her as one of the five most influential Argentine graphic artists for the decades 1982–1992 and 1992–2002. She also received the First Municipal Prize Manuel Belgrano (Engraving, 1993), the "Experiencias" Prize from the Argentine Association of Art Critics, and the First Miró Prize from the Llorens Artigas Foundation in Barcelona.

In Art Nexus, art historian Nelly Perazzo writes:

"Since her earliest engravings and installations, Zulema Maza has prompted reflections of great depth. Behind a clear visual allure, her work urges the viewer to look beyond surface readings and enter a complex world, deeply resonant with our times. Through images of striking formal harmony emerges the unrest of the contemporary world. Do women and nature still maintain that original, life-giving symbiosis—as in those works where bodies and foliage intertwine? And what of the greenhouse, once a place of preservation, which here becomes threatening, caught in a tension between concealment and death?"
