創建於 Disney

August 30, 2022 by Michaela Lozada

Glimpses of Disney World in August of 2022.

In order, we have:

  • Galaxy’s Edge: Star Wars in Florida
  • View from the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie, Ho-Ha-Ha (either that, or the view from the restaurant at the very top floor of the Contemporary Resort, which started as a study of Cinderella’s castle, but then turned into a feature of my Prince Charming in-between our main course and dessert)
  • A quick study of a massive mural done while the lovely chefs made me some vegan eggs – I’ve read about this mural and about its lead artist, Mary Blair, in Queens of Animation by Nathalia Holt (I recommend highly)
  • A view from within the cathedral of Mary, Queen of the Universe (what a name, right?) – no rulers or assistant with the arches!
  • Some people I caught at Jaleo, a phenomenal Spanish restaurant – I refuse to ever forget our waiter Durrell, who noticed me wandering and decided to give me a full behind the scenes tour – Durrell, good luck finishing up your studies to be a sign language interpreter! You got this!
  • The “Festival of the Lion King” – a whirlwind of dance and song and literal fire, indigenous to the Animal Kingdom – but I think my favorite part of the Animal Kingdom may have been my friend Muhammad who was checking my bag – he’s from Casablanca (no, really) and he liked my Ahlan Simsim hat, which features the beautiful Arabic language. He understands why I can’t work properly remotely, and why I absolutely need to be around people in a “place.” It was an honor to have my bag checked by him.
  • Boma, a restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Lodge which is very near and dear to my heart. Wondering why this sketch isn’t too developed? It’s because the Chef of Boma heard I was vegan, and he came out from the kitchen to give me a guided tour of the food of Boma, noting my options – who ever heard of such a thing? Just for me? And at the end of my tour, he offered to make me a dish himself to address my concerns regarding a dearth of plant-based protein. He wanted to know what I was in the mood for, but I asked him to take artistic license and to surprise me. He did NOT disappoint, my goodness.
  • From the waterfront right by the “Japan” of Epcot. Joey tells me this structure is a gateway for spirits! I asked him where they come from and where they go as they pass through – he’s not completely sure. I’ll ask the spirits when I next see them.

(I am extremely grateful for this. It’s not anyone’s fault that I can’t get anywhere near satisfied until I can find some way and place in which to PAINT again!)

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.
