In the Company of Silence
A solo exhibition by Cristian Mora
Saturday, July 12 · 5 PM
1530 S Hazel Court, Denver, CO
Step into a space where light meets shadow, and stillness speaks.
In the Company of Silence is a one-night-only exhibition of new still life oil paintings — quiet, moody compositions built from fabric, porcelain, things that were once alive, and the subtle poetry of light. This series is the result of years of slow, focused work and personal reflection.
Some of the objects are intact, others fractured — all of them suspended in a delicate pause between presence and absence.
Join me for an intimate evening of art, conversation, and connection. Original paintings and a small selection of more affordable pieces will be available for purchase.
Bring a friend, and come early if you’re thinking of collecting — the full series will be shown together only once.
To Cristian Mora, art is the search for truth and beauty in reality and imagination, in the natural and the unnatural, in the benign and the eldritch. A native of San Ramón, Costa Rica, he started painting rainforest scenes as a young child. His love to create only grew from there as he experimented with and discovered new styles and mediums.
As one of the founding members of the Platte River Realists, Cristian focuses on realism and works primarily in oils, incorporating a vast array of styles, subjects, and techniques, including Alla Prima work, plein air painting, city and landscapes, figure painting, still life, and imaginative realism. He explores not only these but also other visual arts such as digital media, photography, and other traditional mediums.
Cristian's studio is in Denver, CO where he works closely with his mentor, master painter Daniel Sprick.. Cristian teaches at the Art Students League of Denver as well as private lessons. To see more of his work as well as his artistic journey follow @moraart on Instagram.
Current Series
In his new still life series, Mora explores the quiet poetry of everyday vessels and objects, capturing their essence as they hover between presence and absence. Blending traditional still life with a contemporary approach, these works distill form to its essentials, leaving only whispered conversations between light, line, and negative space.
