ARI DE LA MORA

Artist Statement

I am Ari De La Mora a figurative painter.

I have always been passionate about culture and anthropology, people inspire me, with the stories permeating from their eyes, either in the past or in the present

My artistic energy revolves around a strong influence of the female figure, on my paintings I reflect a classical and modern interpretations, juxtaposed with cultural anthropology themes that are presented at a very personal level.

My vision of life speaks of a feminine centre, I see the woman as the root of human existence, like a core in which everything revolves around it.

Experimenting with figures and situation that first appear on my sketch books and referring to the contemporary freedom of my time as well, this helps me on my continuing necessity to tell stories, creating a combination of art with culture, presented it in an honest and visceral way.

Art should communicate regardless of the time and space, be empathetic and universal.
