Juan De La Mora

Juan De La Mora is a multidisciplinary artist based between Chicago and Guadalajara with a background in architecture. His practice bridges the disciplines of art, design, and the built environment—moving fluidly between public space and institutional contexts. Internationally, his projects span from large-scale facades and urban interventions to exhibitions in museums, installations, and collaborations with architectural firms and cultural organizations.

​

De La Mora’s work interrogates the relationships between nature, culture, and spatial experience. Rooted in a rigorous research-based methodology, each project evolves from a deep engagement with site, context, and materiality. The subject matter determines the media and formal outcomes, resulting in a body of work that is materially diverse yet conceptually cohesive. Whether through ephemeral street art or enduring architectural installations, his work invites reflection on shared cultural narratives and ecological interdependence. 

​

In addition to his studio practice, De La Mora is committed to education and dialogue—frequently leading workshops, lectures, and collaborations with students and institutions. His work serves as a platform for critical inquiry and cross-disciplinary exchange, reinforcing the role of art in shaping public consciousness and built environments.
