From 1975 he worked on colour etchings and lithographs in the studio of Josef Werner in Munich. Since 1980 he has maintained a second studio in Liguria, Italy. In the early 1980s, Zelmer used the portraits and anatomical drawings of artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Leonardo da Vinci or Caravaggio as references in his work. In 2000 he moved to Ireland, where he now lives and works. Since 1978 he has exhibited work in Berlin, Paris, New York City, Nice, Geneva, Sydney, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Brussels, Nuremberg, London and Munich.
