LOURDES MOJICA | URBAN FACADE (SKETCH FROM LIFE) | EXPRESSIONISM | OIL ON CARDBOARD

A vibrant and gestural capture of urban architecture, where color constructs the volumes and atmosphere of the street.

HISTORY AND CURATORIAL ANALYSIS

In this work, Lourdes Mojica approaches the urban landscape from a purely expressionist perspective. Far from strict architectural delineation, the artist uses oil paint to capture the "impression" of a facade. It is a sketch from life, done quickly to capture a psychological perspective of a facade at a specific moment.

The composition is vertical and focuses on an architectural fragment. Mojica constructs the building's structure using blocks of saturated color: the yellows and ochres suggest artificial lighting, while the deep blues and violets mark the depths of the portals or the shadows cast.

The artist doesn't skimp on materials; she applies the oil paint generously, probably with a palette knife or wide brush, creating a surface rich in textures. It's a painting that prioritizes the brushstroke over the line, seeking to convey the city's vitality rather than a literal depiction of its bricks.

WHY IS THIS PIECE AN OPPORTUNITY?

• Chromatic Force: This artwork functions as a "beacon of light." The intensity of the yellows and the vibrancy of the contrasts make it stand out on any wall, adding visual energy.

• Quality Signature: Lourdes Mojica (Doctor of Fine Arts) is an artist with an academic background and awards, which guarantees that this note is not an amateur exercise, but the work of an expert hand that knows how to synthesize reality.

• Modernity: Its almost abstract execution allows the work to fit both in classic environments (as a counterpoint) and in contemporary design spaces that value gestural painting.

• Tactile Texture: The relief created by the oil paint on the cardboard adds a third dimension to the work. It is physical, substantial paint that gains richness when properly illuminated.

THE WORKSHOP NOTE

We selected this work for its conciseness. Mojica demonstrates here that it's not necessary to depict every detail of a building for us to feel its presence. With four well-placed planes of color, she has brought a façade to life. It's an honest and direct style of painting, without artifice, that allows us to see the artist's hand. Ideal for those seeking art that conveys spontaneity and mastery of color.
