Welcome to Emporio Moffa

Mauritia "Discovered"
"Mauritia" selected by Zazzle editors for their Today's Best Artist Gallery on the zazzle.com websites front page. The Zazzle platform allows me to share, market and sell artowrks that may otherwise go unseen.
Created in 1993, the original mixed-media piece remained forgotten in storage until just last year when I "discovered" it while organizing the basement. Now it is posted for sale as prints on paper and canvas for all to enjoy!
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.
