Kora Moya Rojo

Daniela Elbahara presents Ofrenda by Kora Moya Rojo.

Kora Moya Rojo presents her first solo show in Mexico City at the Daniela Elbahara gallery. For this, Moya Rojo takes as a starting point the endemic flora of the country and the religious symbology to which she gives life thanks to her particular visual argot. The artist presents us with a place of comfort that makes us return to nature on a transcendental journey.

The color and shape accompany us in that feeling of calm and relief, the oval shapes and the chromatic range that the artist uses awaken feelings of familiarity in us and evoke the symbology of the traditional offerings and rituals of Christianity.

The exhibition is made up of 7 paintings where flowers and fruits take hybrid forms and immerses us in a dream garden that gives us shelter. In addition, a series of 6 small format paintings complete the exhibition. These serve as small altars where the artist forces us to get closer in an exercise of detail that becomes intimate.

The final result is the creation of images that oscillate between the sacred and the profane, with an ambivalence typical of a syncretism given by intricate layers of meaning.
