Yuliana Miranda
Bio
Yuliana Miranda (Colombia, 1994) is a visual artist from the University of Antioquia (Colombia). She teaches painting.
For Yuliana, painting has been a craft of dualities, it is discovered and hidden through color, stain and forms. Her practice is based on the meticulous observation that recognizes light as the creator of the sublime, which appears in a small leaf, in a few strands of moss, making the color shine. Her paintings capture the existence of history, life and death, which contains, in essence and substance, the jungle thickets.
She was the winner of the public call for Artistic and Cultural Talent Incentives Juntos Creamos 2021 of the municipality of Rionegro (Colombia), with the pictorial project Thickets.
Statement
Yuliana Miranda (Colombia, 1994) "presents Matorrales, a series composed of oils on canvas and on fique paper, through which the artist immerses the viewer in her routine that could well be called shinrin yoku (forest bath in Japanese). This time the surface of the painting contains the depth of the forest at the time when the sunlight pierces through the branches of the trees and projects into the interior, opening a path in the darkness. Miranda recreates an immersive experience of nature that unfolds the duality of existence, of painting, of the forest itself, posing, a vision of the yūgen or the sublime not from the contemplation of distant grandeur, but of the immense and overwhelming detail that emerges from close observation."
