Randy Mora

Randy's work has impact, probably because of his excellent sense of space. His collages are a little busy at times, but you can still always tell where the focus is. I agree that his style is really becoming "his style." I love his work and I can't wait to see more, I hope it has an impact on you too...

Name (Real or Screename): Randy Mora
URL (Blog, Website): randymora.blogspot.com/
Location (Where are you from?): Bogotá, Colombia

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: I just want to make people feel something good when they look at my work.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: In collage it is common to use these kinds of mediums, but I like to mix them with my own resources, to create identity... found objects, textures, stuff like that.


Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Almost a year. I took some magazines and books from a studio where I was working and started experimenting with this technique, and I can't leave it now : )

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I'm studying advertising too.

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: Not exactly, just a few notions I have from some subjects of my career.


Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: I like to try using uncommon techniques—sometimes found objects, creating handmade textures and mixing them with digital processes.


Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: I guess the last ones, because I'm actually finding a solid style. I hope.

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: I have strong influences from artists like Christian Northeast, Martin Jarrie, Sara Fanelli, Nate Williams, Melinda Beck, Jordin Isip, Dave McKean, Martin Haake, Pierluigi Longo, Antonello Silverini and recently Lars Henkel.

Thanks Randy!
