BoldBrush Recommends: Lysha Montiel
Biography
Artist Statement
Creating abstract art is an intuitive, visual conversation. It allows me to connect with myself and others. Nature and the unseen inspire me. I seek something new in each painting that resonates spiritually. I begin with a blank canvas and curiosity. Instinct drives my initial choice of color and medium: acrylic, watercolor, gouache, collage, and ink. I experiment with unconventional tools, textures, water, and physicality. I am searching for a painting that speaks to me. Some pieces resolve quickly while others are layered, inviting a process of construction and deconstruction. It has always been about letting go.
Artist Biography
Lysha Montiel, an abstract artist, was born in Tucson, grew up in Southern California, and moved to Santa Fe in 2005. She currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
She is primarily self-taught. She continues to grow as an artist by taking abstract painting classes annually, with Michael Ottersen. Her M.A. in Counseling Psychology/Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and her B.A. in Religious Studies from California State University, Northridge inform her process, evoking elements of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and mythology.
She chooses unique tools, approaches, and mediums. Her work is poetic, profound, gutsy, symbolic, and atmospheric, with a hint of landscapes. She builds ephemeral worlds with visionary and fantastical elements, sometimes later to be torn down, buried, and unearthed. Her work reflects an openness that invites the viewer to project.
