He holds a degree in fine arts sculpture mention the "IUESAPAR" and studied at the School of Visual Arts "Cristóbal Rojas" from 1996 to 2001, where he learned theory and practice of painting and sculpture. Moga (pseudonym blending their last names, Moreno - Granados) has developed a personal language that blends painting and sculpture, graphics and sound. His work speaks about the relationship between the urban environment, human and technology, showing how the space is a continuity between things and intangible issues of the inner space of man. This language shows a personal view of the environment, understood as a network of spatial behavior that contains the human being has in itself a space. It shows how these places are connected, since the author includes the city as a sensitive machine where subject and object are presented as a spatial continuity in the internal space of the city exists in respect to their environment, and environment on the inhabitants. Plastics uses its resources to generate landscapes and portraits devices that want to show how the space has an elasticity future of this continuity between the environment and the living in there, and how the city space is connected to the inner space of the human. His artistic research has been tied to its musical and poetic work, we see mixed issues in its proposal. In fact, in 1999 he received the first prize in the "8th poetry contest for high school students" of the House of Poetry "JA Pérez Bonalde." His literary and artistic work has been recognized in local calls and mentions special grants, and has exhibited in several exhibitions of paintings, sculptures and ceramics. In the work of Moga find an identity, looking through the space to display the connections that exist within it, and how the city and man exist as a mixture of sound poetry. To Moga, everyday things contain an internal space where these feelings, perceptions and emotions of man as an immaterial substance, and how they are a bridge to the spaces that we can see and touch, and those who can perceive but do not exist as a concrete fact. For this, he thinks art as a threshold between the two understandings of space, and leads us to wonder where it starts and where they finish the exterior and interior space, much of the city is in us, and how much we're at it. ***

Moreno was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1981. He has a degree on Fine arts, mention in sculpture by the “IUESAPAR”; and studied in the Visual Arts School “Cristobal Rojas” from 1996 to 2001, where he learned theory and practice about paint and sculpture. MoGá (a pseudonym made mixing his surnames, Moreno - Granados) has developed a personal language mixing paint, sculpture, graphic arts and sound. His work talks us about relations between urban environments, human beings and technology, showing how the space it’s a continuity that exists between matters and immaterial things of the inner space of men.
This language shows a personal view of the environment, understanding it like a net of spatial behaviors, which contains the being who contains itself an inner space. Looking to show how those places are connected, he has developed a plastic work which understands the city like a sensible machine where object and subject are a spatial continuity, from the inner space of the citizen to his external environment, and from these to the ambiance; using his plastics recourses to generate landscapes, devices and portraits that want to display how the space it´s a continuity given between the environment and who lives there, and how the city’s external space is linked to the inner space of human being.
His plastic research has been linked to his musical and poetic work, topics that we can see mixed in his proposal. In fact, in 1999 he received the first prize of the “8th tournament of poetry for high school students” of the Casa de la poesía “J.A Pérez Bonalde”. His artwork has been recognized in local tournaments with special mentions and scholarships, and has been showed in several exhibitions of paint, sculpture and pottery. On this way, we can find a specific identity in his work, which see trough the space for display connections that exists inside them, and how city and men exists like a mix of noise and poetry.
For Mogá, everyday things contains a inner space where feelings, emotions and sensations of men are present like a kind of immaterial substance, and they are a bridge for those spaces, this that we can see and touch, and these that we can perceive but that don´t exist like a concrete fact. For this, he thinks art like a threshold between both comprehensions of space, and carry us to ask ourselves where it starts and where it ends the exterior and inner space, how much of the city it´s in us, and how much of us is in it.
