MEMORIA Casa4 MADRID, SPAIN

MEMORIA

CASA 4, calle Maldonado 59, barrio Salamanca, Madrid, ESPAÑA del 6 al 27 de Mayo 2026

Lola de Miguel presenta en esta nueva exposición grupal,  su primera en España, tres cuerpos de obra que dialogan entre sí desde la abstracción: Memoria sentada, Donde habita la memoria y Memoria zen. En conjunto, la muestra propone una exploración de la memoria no como relato lineal, sino como materia viva: fragmentada, sensorial y en constante reconfiguración.

Memoria zen

El tercer cuerpo es una serie de nueve piezas. Estas obras condensan momentos de meditación, donde la práctica reduce la experiencia a tres elementos esenciales: atención, espacio y presente. La abstracción aquí se vuelve más contenida, más silenciosa. No hay gesto innecesario; cada trazo responde a una economía de intención. La memoria deja de ser acumulación y se convierte en vacío activo, en disponibilidad. Lo que se presenta no es lo recordado, sino la condición que hace posible recordar sin apego.

 

 

Memoria asentada

La primera pieza, de gran formato —superior a los cuatro metros—, se despliega como un ejercicio de “connecting the dots” emocional y pictórico. La superficie está dominada por negros densos, trabajados con pinceladas que oscilan entre lo contenido y lo expansivo. Sobre ese fondo emergen acentos cobrizos y dorados, que operan como vectores de ambición y pulsión vital. El azul introduce una dimensión espiritual, casi respiratoria, mientras que los blancos y beiges articulan un territorio de asentamiento y aceptación. No hay narrativa explícita: la obra se construye como un campo de tensiones donde la memoria se sienta, se posa, y encuentra una forma de permanencia.

Donde habita la memoria

El segundo conjunto adopta la forma de un tríptico. Su origen se sitúa en los paseos de la artista por París, en esos encuentros silenciosos con objetos cargados de historia: una taza, un cuadro, una escultura. Elementos cotidianos que, sin embargo, contienen múltiples capas de memoria acumulada. La obra no representa estos objetos; los evoca. Cada panel funciona como un umbral donde lo contemplado se transforma en huella. Aquí, la memoria no es introspectiva, sino relacional: habita en lo que ha sido tocado, mirado, usado. El tríptico articula esa experiencia en tres tiempos, tres respiraciones, tres formas de aproximarse a lo bello como depósito de vidas anteriores.

En su conjunto, la exposición plantea una cartografía íntima donde la memoria transita entre lo denso y lo ligero, entre lo vivido y lo contemplado, entre la materia y el vacío. Todas las obras, de carácter abstracto, rehúyen la representación directa para situarse en un territorio más esencial: el de la experiencia.

La trayectoria y universo personal de la artista pueden explorarse en su espacio autobiográfico en Lolademiguel.com, y a través de su instagram: lolademiguel_art donde se recogen las claves que atraviesan su práctica: la observación, el amor por el color y la interconexión de temas que le tocan emocionalmente

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

About the exhibition: 

52 Greene Street,  Second Floor Gallery, New York City, is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Lola de Miguel, EXPANSION, her tenth solo show in Manhattan, 9 acrylic paintings in very large format, opening September 27th through  October 9th, 2024. 

 

Lola de Miguel, SKY'S THE LIMIT, part of EXPANSION Series, 60” x 72”

Renowned artist Lola de Miguel unveils her latest body of work, EXPANSION, a large-scale abstract series created in the aftermath of the global pandemic. As the world continues to navigate uncertain times, de Miguel invites viewers to explore personal growth and self-discovery through her deeply reflective and emotionally charged works. This highly anticipated exhibition will be on display in Soho, showcasing her unique vision shaped by the turbulence of our era.

Drawing inspiration from her holistic worldview and personal development journey, de Miguel's new collection delves into the concept of expansion—both personal and societal. Each piece offers a nuanced perspective, reflecting themes of transformation, hope, and resilience. Some works express the possibilities of growth and change, while others reflect the calm and simplicity of being present in the moment. De Miguel also touches upon more complex issues such as the political ambitions of nations seeking expansion, darkening our collective reality. Her exploration reminds us that art, in times of uncertainty, can offer solace and guidance.

The artist cites two powerful quotes by Mahatma Gandhi as key influences for this series: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” and “Be truthful, gentle, and fearless.” These meditative works inspire viewers to reflect on their own potential for growth and encourage them to embrace their personal journey of expansion. As de Miguel asserts, "Once you embrace your potential, the sky's the limit."

Born in a small town in Spain, Lola de Miguel has lived in six different countries, reflecting her bold spirit and international perspective. She studied painting at the prestigious Art Students League of New York, where she had the honor of learning from notable mentors such as Larry Poons, James Little, and Ronnie Landfield. Her work has been widely exhibited, with nine solo shows in Manhattan, including African Memories, Underwater Emotions, New York City Inspires, The Jungle, Mother Earth Love, Amazonian, Galaxies, Floating Colors, and Essence.

With EXPANSION, her 10th solo exhibition, de Miguel continues to challenge and inspire her audience, inviting them to reflect on personal growth and the pursuit of peace amidst the turbulence of today’s world.

Press Release ESSENCE, opening Friday Dec 9th, 2022

PRESS RELEASE Nov 25th, 2022 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

About the exhibition: 

52 Greene Street, Third Floor Gallery, New York City, is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Lola de Miguel, Essence, her ninth solo show in Manhattan, 13 acrylic paintings in large format, opening Dec 9th through Dec 21, 2022. 

 

 

With this new collection, de Miguel returns to Soho with a body of work that she has created in the aftermath of the global pandemic as New York City eased up on restrictions and yet the future remains so uncertain. Inspired by the writings of Viktor E. Frankl, and his elegiac masterpiece, “Man’s Search For Meaning,” de Miguel has been on her own quest to discover personal meaning. The thirteen large format abstract works of this series reflect de Miguel’s exploration into meaning and what is essential—what remains when everything is stripped away and how to preserve that. Using self-inquiry prompts as she created each work, de Miguel asked herself such questions as: What is important to me? What can not be left out? How can I be in harmony? And using the physical act of painting and pouring to create these works of muted, watery calming color that are layered with places of transparency and empty spaces, she depicts her thoughts and meditations, offering a glimpse of what lies below the surface when we go into our minds. “My work became lighter, more transparent and layered,”said de Miguel. “Not only did I use paint on the canvas to reveal what was in my mind, but I also used water, the basic essence of all living things. And just as with the transformative nature of water that changes to exist in a variety of forms, I, too, had to be ready for the unexpected and adapt quickly to circumstances to let my intuition guide me through the process.” With these meditative works de Miguel invites viewers to contemplate their own essence and absolute truth because for de Miguel, as with author/philosopher Viktor Frankl, once you embrace essence, life becomes meaningful.  

 

 

Lola de Miguel is a bold explorer and learner, and an international spirit. Born in a small town in Spain, her path has taken her to live in 6 different countries through many life and career changes. She has studied Painting at the Art Students League of New York, honored to learn from some of her art mentors including artists Larry Poons, James Little and Ronnie Landfield. De Miguel is a widely exhibited artist that has had 8 solo exhibitions in New York in the past few years: “African Memories,” “Underwater Emotions,” “New York City Inspires,” “The Jungle,” “Mother Earth Love,” “Amazonian,” “Galaxies,” and “Floating Colors".

Her ninth solo exhibit in New York City, Essence, inspires viewers to contemplate their own essence and seek out ways to find purpose and peace even in today’s turbulent times.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION and LARGE FORMAT ATRACTION

 

Dear ART LOVERS, 

Lola de Miguel is working hard and the large format  is conquering her heart. She feels free to express without barriers, to dance with the flow when a big canvas is in front of her, ready to let the muse's inspiration come and make her wonders. Two paintings of 10 meters each, 32 feet are good examples of this found new funness towards big format.

AMAZONIAN is  the latest work of Lola de Miguel. With this collection de Miguel shows a transition into the way she sees, experiences and feels Nature. We see her evolving from the rotund, solid and bright expression of Nature she displays in her last collections with some pre pandemic works , into a totally new era where colours have a new meaning and a new purpose. De Miguel’s palette, after experiencing the pandemic,  grows into a serene, calm and delicate selection of colours that are letting space for renewed emotions. Her works  have become lighter, atmospheric and ethereal, opening subtle, invisible and almost poetic ways to Light.

Asked about this collection and the evolution of her work, de Miguel said …Nature plays a crucial role in my life, and I feel the urge to generate awareness that will lead to social action to protect it.  This past year gave me the opportunity of experiencing  Nature from a new perspective, feeling as if I was part of it, merging with its spirit in those moments, when there were no other places or other beings to go to. Nature became my ally, my inspiration and colours changing across the seasons brought a deep sense of hope and continuity. I want it to bring a feeling of connectedness and a sense of new beginning. Light and Hope are the ultimate goal, the soul, the beginning and the end of this collection. Nature is bigger than us.

DUE TO COVID 19

Due to Covid 19, there has been a lot of changes regarding Lola de Miguel´s future plan exhibits. The solo show which was planned for May-June 2020 in Greene Street, Soho, NEW YORK, got cancelled,  as well as the Group Show Merit scholarship Winner Exhibit 2020 initially planned for June at the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery, NEW YORK. Lola de Miguel has therefore decided to take a break from the City, from New York and has temporarily moved to the Alps. In April Lola de Miguel installed a new big studio walking distance from the beautiful mountains. Since then her days are dedicated to Nature, Creativity and Spirituality.

The fact that due to the virus she cannot longer work with recycling material from outside ( office buildings etc), has open new paths. She has come back to acrylic painting on canvas but in very big formats. She dreams to do an open air exhibit or be able to put her paintings in big halls, Industrial buildings, Schools, etc. Museums and galleries may be closed but art should be present. Art and color raises our spirits and specially in hard times like Covid 19 are a good antidote against pandemic blues.
