VIVIAN LEFLORE MORA
Fine Artist, Texas
“I paint because I can't imagine not painting.”
For me, painting is an essential part of living. I’m exploring abstraction using acrylics in combination with other media to depict thoughts, emotion and/or scenes through color, surface texture, and forms. I sketch out or design most of my pieces on paper or computer before picking up a brush. However, the work becomes more and more intuitive as it comes to life. Often, the original sketch or design merely becomes the "bones" or structure from which a new work emerges.
My work is vivid and tends to reflect the joy that I find in just being part of this world. I love working with the basics, primary color. I'm working in mostly water and dry media: acrylic, watercolor, ink, color pencil and collage. My pieces are built, layer by layer, using brushwork, imprinting, lettering, knife work and pouring. I work on several pieces simultaneously. My pieces can be thought of as paintings upon paintings because I work each stage until I'm satisfied with all aspects of it even though I know it's rarely the final view.
My work is constantly evolving. Everything I encounter has the ability to inform my work. Although I am primarily focused on abstract expression, I continually challenge myself as an artist to just create!
