BACKGROUND
Jon Mora is a 6th generation artist of Catalan Spanish descent. Jon started painting at the age of three with local artists in Barcelona who were his mothers friends.
EXPLORATION AND CREATION
Jon has continued to experiment with technique and media throughout his career. His style has evolved into abstract expressionism using mixed media including powder pigments and multiple layers of acrylic on cotton canvas, watercolor and pen, pastel on cotton paper, and collage, while creating a myriad of invented tools and techniques for individual paintings.
Jon's work is known for unconventional and experimental use of media blended with a full immersion into spontaneity which is the epicenter of his work. He enjoys the aspects of interactivity and interpretation which leads to different vibrations and feelings from his viewers.
