Hello and welcome to the Emporio Moffa Blogspot.
I intend to use this communications vehicle to add some depth, personality and background information to the art and design I both create and market.
In future posts I will discuss my inspirations, design influences, and produced work to keep all informed, and I hope, enlightened and entertained!

Artist's Statement
I consider myself more of a constructor of visual images than a painter because of the conceptual nature and non-traditional depiction methods employed in the creation of my work.
I'm inspired by art movements such as fauvism, surrealism, abstract expressionism and pop art as well as early 20th century advertising illustration and photographic imaging. Architectural, Fashion and Design concepts are integral to my creative process.
My approach to image-making uses graphic design and collage composition as well as painterly washes and brush strokes in an accumulative process more akin to architecture than traditional painting.
My mixed-media work is often media reflexive and postmodern. The combination of color, paper, printed mater and photographic images are often combined to present and re-communicate visual samples in new ways.
My purely abstract works involve contrasting and or complimentary colors, line, form, massing, painterly washes and detailing. The overall effects connotative of mood, motion or illusory depth.
