Different stages of his career shows the evolution of his artwork up to what is now recognized as his own language. “It was not easy to choose what pieces of work to show, it is always a challenge and I think that is needed courage to show my earlier work” says Mora.<\/p>\n

Mora is well known for his interest in Mexican culture. He said in an interview, “I\u2019m not just fascinated by Mayan culture but rather all indigenous cultures especially those in Mexico. All my work has that influence from ancient cultures and nature, insects, or plants or other organic forms.”<\/p>\n
