創建 2022-03-02 (Ash Day)

March 2, 2022 by Michaela Lozada

(I mean, we aren’t going to confuse it with “Ash Tuesday,” or “Ash Sunday,” right?)

Lent 2022 begins today, so today gets a Rule! Now, I have a habit which is becoming a problem. Whenever I feel gratitude, I want to record it so I don’t forget it. Whenever I feel curiosity, I want to record it for further study and consideration. This typically results in hundreds of photographs and videos every day. The storage required by my lust for life and learning is starting to cost me a pretty penny, so here is my Lenten rule this year:

For each of these theoretically, symbolically, not-strictly-literally 40 days of Lent 2022, I will not take more than 40 photographs. (See following details for more.)

  • Equivalencies: [ 5 second of video == 1 photograph ]; [1 live photograph == 2 photographs]; [ 1 panoramic photograph == 4 photographs ] (Screenshots do not count.)
  • Days are non-transferable: I am not permitted to justify the use of more than 40 photographs of credit for any single given day of Lent 2022 by using less than 40 photographs of credits on any other day or days of Lent 2022.

(Today I used up 38 photograph credits, and for me, this was hard.)

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.
