Vladimir Cora

Vladimir Cora (born 1951, Acaponeta, Nayarit) is a Mexican painter and sculptor based in the state of Nayarit, whose work has been recognised through various awards and his membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. He discovered art at the age of fifteen, after realising he would not pursue a career in music. He trained in Tijuana and Mexico City, achieving his first major success in the 1980s.

His style has been described as neo-figurative, minimalist and raw, and he typically creates his works in series linked to themes such as the apostles, flowers, birds and women, particularly those associated with Nayarit.

Vladimir often describes himself as a romantic who should have been born in the 18th century.
