Guillermo Mora

Guillermo Mora is a Spanish artist born in Madrid in 1980. He is known for his work in painting, sculpture, and public art, and is considered one of Spain's most prominent contemporary artists. Mora studied Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid and continued his training at the Berlin School of Arts. His work is characterized by its focus on the materiality of art, and he often uses unconventional materials such as polyurethane foam and nail polish. One of the most interesting aspects of Mora's work is his ability to transform ordinary materials into surprising and beautiful pieces of art. For example, in one series of sculptures, he uses polyurethane foam to create complex geometric shapes that appear to float in the air. In another series, he paints and models on canvases found on the street, creating a kind of collage with elements of the city. Mora's work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums both in Spain and abroad, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, and the Museo de Arte de Caguas in Puerto Rico. He has also received several awards and recognitions, including the Botín Foundation Fine Arts Scholarship in 2008 and the National Prize for Fine Arts of the Community of Madrid in 2014.
