Nia Mora Art

American, b. 1984

Nia Mora is an American photographer, artist and chef. Now living in Australia, she focuses her commercial work towards her passions of food, wine and travel. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, her father is the jazz percussionist Francisco Mora Catlett and she is the granddaughter of artist Elizabeth Catlett and painter Franciso Mora. She states, "As an artist with a mixed cultural background, I have become interested in exploring the inner workings of the human imagination, the subconscious and dream-like states of mind. Through my photographs, I try to do this poetically with the use of surrealist motifs such as symbolism, magic, alchemy and the abstraction of time and space. Much of it can be attributed to the mysticism that exists in Mexican folklore. My art also draws from the indigenous sense of spirituality to evoke a sort of ceremonial happening in my images. Thus, the characters portrayed in my photographs can be considered apparitions of the spiritual world and the unknown. In my images, the lines of reality are obscured, and life and death become manifestations of one central idea. Color has also captivated me as an artist. It is a physical representation of the vibrancy and passion of Mexico and can be found in every aspect of its culture. Focusing upon the use of color in Mexico has given me a tool with which I use to further dramatize the visual impact of my work."

Salvador Dali: Take It: Estate Edition Photograph [Iconic Surrealist, Modernist]
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
September 1970: With some of his mystical artwork at Port Ligat, Costa Brava, painter Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) in a characteristic pose with his trademark walking-stick in vibrant purple dress. In the background, the magical, mysterious, artistic and alchemical mix, with white and sepia-toned curtains and classic photographs on display. The vintage and classic mingles with the bizarre and strange in this historic photograph of an avant-garde legend. Salvador Dali: Take It, 1970 Slim Aarons Estate Edition Photograph Lambda Print Estate Embossed with 2 Certificates of Authenticity Printed Later 4 sizes available Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquess of Dalí de Púbol gcYC (/ˈdɑːli, dɑːˈliː/;[1] Catalan: [səlβəˈðo ðəˈli]; Spanish: [salβaˈðoɾ ðaˈli];[2] 11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Dalí lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his "nuclear mysticism" style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and recent scientific developments. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork. His public support for the Francoist regime, his commercial activities and the quality and authenticity of some of his late works have also been controversial. His life and work were an important influence on other Surrealists, pop art and contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. There are two major museums devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum...
