PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST :
" MY work is an interpretation of the Caribbean irony which is in abundance, because of our complex historical background, I believe in the search of our whimsical self, which are the rights of a people.

The Artist should be seen as a healer of a people's psyche...And in a region which needs therapeutic application, I am aware that the Arts are one of the most powerful and important therapeutic activities, especially if the Artist is aware of such potential" Mosera.

by Andy Gross, journalist
His sophisticated, expressionistic works hang in private collections and galleries and museums in Israel, Holland, Sweden, France, Moscow and New York. He is acknowledged to be at the vanguard of a regional school of painting that is seeking to become international, to change preconceived notions of what Caribbean art should and should not be.

by Ria Uterloo, freelance writer
A bold contemporary expressionist, abstract in tendency, Mosera nevertheless brings a strong sense of structure to his canvases... An artist of great knowledge for color and surfaces, he can take a color captured on a certain moment of the day and reincarnate it on his canvasses, by surrounding and mixing it with surprising and incoherent fragments of the African Caribbean World. In his watercolors Mosera reveals a wide range of artistic knowledge, from gentle color effects, such as bleeding and to the brush sense on his paper. A single exhibition provides the opportunity for only a glimpse of his scope...

Over all, no period of Mosera's work is paramount but each period, color, serenity and composition plays a singular role.
