Lola Arellano

I was born in Seville in 1970, I studied technical architecture and dramatic art, but my true passion is artistic painting.

I have been doing self-taught portraits since I was 18, I have been polishing and improving my technique in the more than 30 years I have been painting. In 2013 I was part of a collective exhibition in the red gallery of Seville.

As soon as the painting I face my creations in several ways, in the realistic paintings I do a mechanic process in terms of proportions, however I try to bring freshness in the brushstroke and the way of applying the colors, I also like the ephemeral strokes. There are techniques that encourage more this way of painting as is watercolor, and others that allow a quieter, more rational execution such as oil.

I understand the painting as an expression of myself through the brushes, it is inevitable even if a realistic painting is painted that part of myself is expressed in the same painting and that is what always gives value to an original object, not mechanized , either a painting or anything that is done from people. The manual and original work is still a value in itself of authenticity.
