創建 07-05-2021 (¡5 Years a Cyborg!)

July 11, 2021 by Michaela Lozada

We call July 5th Mickey Independence Day, because it is the anniversary of my back surgery – a full spinal fusion (T4-L4) for scoliosis, after a decade wearing a backbrace. This day marked five years of carrying these titanium rods and screws.

My thanks to Dr. Wudbhav N. Sankar and the entire incredible medical team at CHOP (the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), to the amazing Hot-Pot establishment on whose paper menus I banged this one out in a hot second, and to my incomparable family who has supported every step, from overseeing my over-six-month recovery from spinal fusion to paying for my monster hot-pot bill (in case you aren’t familiar with my appetite – I generally eat so much that Jeremy, our waiter, made me cross some things off of my order – you should have seen his face by the end of our meal, looking at my bare plates/bowls/pots).

I am very, very grateful. Thank you!

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.
