This is a collection made by the Tilata’s student, Juan Felipe López.

 

I believe that every person in the world is a combination of different aspects, a combination of different colors that define who we are, who we were, who we wanna be. Our dreams, our feelings, our sensation, our experiences, and every little aspect existing inside our own personal world. Every artwork that makes part of this exposition exists in order to explain a small part of what I consider are symbols that may represent a part of the person that we really are. As you may know, white is the combination of every color that exists, every artwork follows the conductive thread that is based on being yourself and loving what makes you, every color gives you a piece of that and that creates the human that we are today, developing different colors, learning how to love our combinations and giving the world the that you can give. 

 

This collection of artworks feels very personal because of how important is for me to express what I feel through arts and give this overview of the relatability that connect us as humans, every color has a specific symbolism that has been related to it through history and that may be a representation also of who we are as people. The first artwork is white (We) because it is the combination of colors and every person has their own combination and colors that at the end of the day end up being the same because we all have things to say and feeling to express. The next artwork is black (Me) and it represents how the essence builds for us can be seen as the absence of every other aspect and just ending up in our most personal moment with ourselves. The next artwork is Black & white (Power) because being empowered with ourselves and the person that we are in general no matter what the other may think or say is such a big part of identity, you are not black or white, you are you and that is what makes you special.

White (we)

Technic: Pencil & color pencil ON cardboard

Measurements: 24 cm X 30 cm

Art is a mechanism to show who you are and transmit to the world what you wanna say, that is why every individual has their own talents and their own perception of the world that may be reflected in how they express through the different types of art. White is the union of all colors and all these colors represent the different types of people that exist in the world and that have different realities, the people that since their own perspective are unique and if everybody is unique then WE are the art that we make which is why this expositon is trying to show and this artwork reflects.

Black (Me)

Date: 15/04/2020

Technic: Pencil & color pencil ON cardboard

Measurements: 24 cm X 30 cm

We are a mix of colors but we are also the absence of them, being the person whom you want to be is looking at yourself with your naked and realizing what is your essence, that is what I tried to transmit through this self-portrait and realizing that my essence and nature is orange, it means that the fascination for different things in my life is what pushes every other part of who I am.

BLACK & WHITE (POWER)

Date: 18/04/2020

Technic: Cardboard oN cardboard collage

Measurements: 28 cm X 24 cm

The power for me is being empowered about who you are, trust in yourself and no matter what the society says, you have to keep on being true to your own identity, that is what is being represented with this artwork where there are representations of diverse shapes of the body but all portrait with the same confidence, there is one city on each side of the artwork that represents the world today and how it is trying to put people in a color we all are different colors, we are the absence of them and the mix of them, we are who we are and society would not change that.

(HARMONY)

Date: 06/03/2020

Technic: Pencil, color pencil & microtip ON cardboard 

Measurements: 30cm X 20cm

A person is a combination between what makes us humans and what we do as humans, organic shapes are a representation of things that nature itself creates and that cannot be created naturally by humans, while inorganic or geometric shapes are what humans can do and create through their own abilities as people, this artwork represents that mix and how we are a harmony in a world that we may see as full of chaos.

(Optimism)

Date: 15/05/2020

Technic: Pencil, color pencil & microtip ON cardboard 

Measurements: 30cm X 20cm

In times where live out of memories and watching everything stop around us, we can just enjoy the view and be grateful for the place where we are just waiting for things to get better, yellow represents optimism and that is exactly what we need when we are looking through our window with uncertainty about our own future.

(LOVE)

Date: 06/03/2020

Technic: Pencil, color pencil & marker ON cardboard 

Measurements: 30cm X 20cm

The things that inspire you are part of who you are and your development as a person, this artwork is inspired by the song Love by Lana del Rey where she talks about the feeling of being in love with that persona that you consider special inside your own world, which for me is a big part of your identity because the people around you shape a part of it and creates an individual full of experiences and feelings that turns into the person that you really are.
