Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong presents Nuria Mora: Waterfalls and Magpies, the first solo exhibition by the acclaimed Spanish artist in Hong Kong, running from Jan. 31 to March 14, 2026. The exhibition explores the dual nature of interpretation and the transformative power of narrative through Mora’s unique aesthetic, merging geometric abstraction with urban-inspired dialogues. Visitors are invited to reflect on how the same experience can evoke vastly different emotions and meanings depending on cultural context.

The exhibition was inspired by a personal encounter in which a solitary magpie appeared during a moment of vulnerability, triggering reflections on contrasting interpretations across Eastern and Western cultures. Mora translates this duality into a series of works that navigate fear, hope, and transformation. Waterfalls serve as a central motif, symbolizing infinite possibilities and the power of narrative to reshape perception, while the magpie embodies both joy and caution.

Featuring acrylic, oil sand, and ceramic works, the show presents a vivid intersection of Eastern and Western perspectives, resonating deeply with Hong Kong’s diverse cultural environment. The opening reception is on Jan. 31, 2026, from 3 PM to 6 PM, with the artist present. The exhibition is displayed at 7/F, M Place, Wong Chuk Hang Road, open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM.
