About the Artist:

Born in San Jose, Costa Rica and raised in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Chris has always had a fascination with the mechanical, geometrical and emotional aspects of character art. Having begun his artistic journey in 2 dimensional paintings, he quickly realized 3 dimensions is where his art thrives. While the form it takes has changed, the subject of his work has remained largely the same.

Chris Mora’s metalwork is most specifically, but not limited to, robots and metal figures. This interest has manifested in the creation of a series of massive, static, outdoor robots and a series of indoor, poseable (articulate) robot sculptures meant to be posed and played with. While Chris’s robots are heavily inspired by his interest in the mechanical and technical, the whimsy and playfulness of his robots is at the forefront of his work. His preferred metals are steel and stainless-steel. His preferred finishing methods are chemical blackening and powder-coating.

While much simpler yet still rewarding, Chris finds contracted fabrication to be a testimony to the quality of his work. Alongside his robots, Chris regularly enjoys servicing his local community by machining parts, fabricating structures, automotive fabrication, and sculpting decorative pieces for his clientele.
