Moroles, long regarded as one of the nationally important artists living and working in Texas, works directly in response to his chosen medium, granite. Trained formally in the United States, Moroles also spent a year in the quarries in Pietra Santra, Italy.

Moroles' major commissions include an environmental installation of fountains and sculptures for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, Alabama; a 22-foot tall, 60-ton sculpture, "Lapstrake", at the former E.F. Hutton Plaza, New York, located across the street from the Museum of Modem Art; and water sculptures at the Albuquerque Museum, Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe. His largest public commission is the massive granite earthwork, the Houston Police Officers Memorial. It measures 120 feet by 120 feet with a 22-foot elevation from its lowest to its highest point.

His works are found in such collections as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian, Washington D.C.; the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, Texas; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth, Texas; the New Orleans Museum of Fine Art, New Orleans, Louisiana; the Mint Museum, Charlotte, North Carolina; the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Fresno, California; the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico; the University of Houston, Houston, Texas; the Palm Springs Desert Museum, Palm Springs, California; the Fondazione Umberto Severi, Carpi, Italy and the Virlane Foundation, New Orleans, Louisiana.
