MILA LOZANO
In suspension. Poetics of uncertainty
"I paint In Suspension, a poetics of the uncertain, seeking the breath of emptiness in a lacework of endless pieces. In that transition from the potential to the manifest and taking refuge in the "maybe", I blur my own convictions.
I like to think that in the limbo of what is without yet being, the invisible is revealed to us in whispers, and that in that place is the fundamental frequency that unites everything."
MILA LOZANO
As a child, I used to play with colored pencils that I then carefully placed in their metal box, on an ascending scale, from lightest to darkest. I organized the whole world in that colorful box. At that time, I was drawing horses and faces. That's all. I think I longed to treasure beauty. But beauty is elusive and doesn't need you. Beauty is, all the more, when imperfect and not pursued. When I stopped looking for it I began to recognize it.
To be honest, I have never been overly interested in reality. I think that without realizing it I have installed myself a prudent foot from the ground, caressing the intangible, the uncertain, until placing it in the center.
I revere abstraction in all its manifestations and as a lover of the word as I am, I collected some during the years I spent in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. At that time, the word was enough... Each word is a decision, as is each look. And there they were: power, possibility, transit, invisible, uncertain, infinite, emptiness, frequency, breath, synchrony, temple…My drawbridges. The foundations of my painting.
I believe in artistic creation as an engine of knowledge, and in the interconnection of disciplines. How fascinating it would be to be able to seat Hipatia, Leonardo da Vinci, Turner, Khalil Gibran, Carmen Martín Gaite, José Antonio Marina, Georgia O'Keeffe, Chris Martin, Jorge Wagensberg and my grandfather Luís at the same table, armed with his violin and his poetry…
