Phase 2 of Mama “Portrait”

March 3, 2018 by Michaela Lozada

(Oil Painting, 30″ x 40″)

This is a portrait of my mother, done using oil paints. I believe that it is an excellent demonstration of my artistic skill because it evokes in its viewers an unadulterated sense of my mother’s character.
I went to painstaking measures to ensure that this portrait would capture my mother’s personality. I obtained this smile from her by interviewing her about how she met my father. It is a smile of pure love, expressed when she was recalling some of her happiest memories with her husband.
All the vivid color of this work is reflective of real life; the blush on her cheeks, her sparkling blue eyes, and the sunlight on her face were all natural. When mixing paints, I went to great lengths to match these striking hues.
This painting of my mother portrays an honest, fleeting grin, capturing her warmth, her spirit and her smile. What more could be asked of a portrait?

Artist Statement

My art has always acted as a microphone for my thoughts and observations; through it, I make my voice heard. Through wide-ranging media, such as charcoal portraiture, 2-D and 3-D animation, and oil painting, I create statements on equally widespread themes, from the nobilities of simple living to issues of global concern.

Whenever possible, I use my computer science background to integrate elements of programming and the digital world into my art, making for a very unique portfolio!

Media

I choose media carefully to best complement this process. Charcoals and graphite are used to capture the most fleeting subject material, using quick, sparing strokes to reflect bodies in motion and draw out the evanescence of the image as a whole. For the opposite effect, I often elect to use paints (usually oils) to create a work with multiple depths. Glazes layered carefully on thicker mixes of paint are used to capture the nuances of the personalities I choose to convey. I always try to adapt my knowledge of computer science to my art, mixing traditional art with digital and combining seemingly opposing media.
