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.

FLOATING COLORS

About the exhibition: 52 Greene Street, Third Floor Gallery, New York City, is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Lola de Miguel,  FLOATING COLORS, her 8th solo show in Manhattan, 13 acrylic paintings in large, medium and small format, opening May 18th through June 1st, 2022.

With this new collection, de Miguel returns to Soho with a second body of work, which she created during the global pandemic, specifically from her time of living and working alone in the German Alps. These abstract works of color and energy depict de Miguel’s inner and outer exploration as she followed a solo daily practice of meditation, hours’ long walks in the mountains, and painting, while considering life’s biggest questions: Who am I? What is this world we live in? Who am I to others, and others to me? How can we create a future in this world together?

Her paintings are in response to these questions, as well as depictions of the questions themselves, where bold colors float free in the universe, calling out juxtapositions of human interaction, the need for separate and relational identities, and the fluidity of combining and recombining possible solutions through color, shapes and light.

 

“During the time I was alone, I was reminded of a man I met once, who gave off the energy of a really happy man,” says de Miguel. “When I asked him what his secret was, he said, ‘Legerezza,’ which in Italian, means ‘lightness.’ I adopted this way of being for myself.” The energy of living in the present, letting things flow, finding her space fluidly in relation to others and seeking out the joy of unpredictable moments and combinations—came out in her work.

 

Also inspired by her painting mentor, James Little,whose work is now being shown at the Whitney Biennial, de Miguel values the importance of combining darks and lights, large shapes and small, movement and stillness in her painting, just as in life. “My work became lighter, more transparent and layered,” she said. “I used not only paint but also water, which meant, like in life, I had to be ready for the unexpected, I had to adapt quickly to circumstances and let my intuition guide me through the process.”

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.

I want the audience to feel conected with the flow they experienced as kids in nature. Mother Earth Love, is about how I feel we should love the Earth and how the Earth loves us. We are connected.

PRESS RELEASE UPCOMING SOLO SHOW DEC. 12th MOTHER EARTH LOVE

Art Exhibition by Lola de Miguel opens on December 12th at The YARD Bryant Park.

New York City, NY, Release: November 8th, 2019

36" x 48 " Mix Media. Done using piano and recycling material

A new solo exhibition by Lola de Miguel curated by Karina Grigoryeva opens December 12th at the emblematic 510 5th Avenue , NY 10036. The exhibition features aproximadamente 20 art pieces, including paintings, collages and sculptures that will be displayed until February 20, 2020.

MOTHER EARTH LOVE is the latest work of Lola de Miguel. With this collection  de Miguel wants to inspire feelings of wonder, awe, and love for our Mother Earth, in hopes that these feelings will call viewers into action. The subtle yet striking blend of her vivid and passionate palette, with new textures, and all kinds of recycled materials, challenge the visitor to look at the way Nature is constantly changing from a totally new perspective; emphasising on the emotional connection we all have with Nature.

Asked about the exhibition, De Miguel said …it is about my love for Nature and my desire to make people take action and engage. I want the visitor to connect with my art through a deep dive into their essence and deepest emotions of joy and love to Mother Earth hidden in their childhood memories. I want them to experience how life and death, walking together hand in hand, take them into an uncertain but also a promising future. Viewers can expect to be surprised by the exhibition’s visuals, which will include sculptures of dinosaurs.

Lola de Miguel is an explorer, a learner and a truly international spirit. She was born in a small town in Spain, but her personal growth path took her to live in 6 different countries  and drive multiple careers and experiences throughout her life. She is well-known to the NYC public as she performed three solo exhibitions; “Underwater Emotions”, “New York City Inspires”, and “The Jungle” in the past three years.

The Mother Earth Love exhibition will certainly raise a different kind of consciousness by bringing to life the artist’s love and profound emotional connection to Nature.
