ABOUT RAUL
MORA'S WORK "Art is harmony, harmony is the analogy of the opposites, the similarities pertaining tone, color and line, considered under the influence of the illumination in joyful, soothing or sad combinations. "Raul Mora's work is joy, which he gets through the use of luminosity of the color, from it's predominant warmth , and the line above and beyond the horizontal. The artist is interested in structuring each brush, controlling the surface and the deliberate composition thus creating an optic effect. "The plastic work offered by Raul Mora synthesizes elements which amplify our spiritual comprehension of reality from the perspective of his audacious landscapes which project a glimpse of his most intimate thoughts, his dreams and his visions."

COLOR LIGHT AND FORM, SEEN BY RAUL MORA "The encounter with Raul Mora's canvases cannot stay just in a sole
moment of observation. His colors and forms find winding ways to get into
our senses and pores, to run into our veins, to touch and finally be attached
to the story told during the spans of loneliness. |

THE CREATION OF CREATING RAUL MORA In his recent work, Raul Mora paints fully within the universe of sensible geometry to portray the world, both vegetal as well as anthropomorphous. He equally captures the swift opening of a flower, the wildfire of a sunset, or the rhythm of a dance. The line of his forms chases the sudden lightning by a continuous process of stimulus and revelation, in search of the sudden illumination that leads to truth. This process results equally in a meditation about reality, man and earth, and, of course, the need to ponder about technique and the plastic and iconic signs that better express the line of thought and feelings of the artist. In this manner, his philosophical perspective allows Raul Mora to find strokes and colors to condense the physical and the spiritual, the visible and the concrete, the invisible and the transcendental, in sum, the relationship between the cosmic heavens and the earth. In his work, the strength of color and the sensibility of strokes create a movement that does not exclude the spectator, but includes him, inviting him to activate his visual and emotional perception. Referring, in this case, to a plastic language that attracts both the linear writing as well as the speed with which color changes its attire, its meaning, growing dim and firing up equally whether the image be a cloud or flower, rain or fields, hope, rhythm, smile, remembrance or surprise. From his studio's window in the mythical town of Malinalco, Raul Mora discovers landscapes interwoven in yarns of colors. In this environment, the notions that appear in art and literature of ancient prehispanic cultures, do not seem foreign. He is an artist under the spell of the creation of creating, capable of capturing appearances and their secrets, the silence of sound, the number, the rhythm, the echo, the magic, the message for no one and therefore perphaps for everyone, since his skill is born precisely from the ephimerous experiences that sensibility brings forth only by the miracle of contemplation. Artist by instinct and conviction, Raul Mora proposes in each of his paintings an enigmatic response, ccomplishing, for now, the dificult balance between the concrete and the ethereal that maintains his work alive like the swift breathing of nature, the cadence of dance, or the privilege of freedom. What more this passionate artist has to offer, only time will tell.
