MILA USECHE
Mila Useche was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1993. She completed a B.F.A. at Berliner Technische, Kunsthochshule in Berlin, Germany, and currently lives and works in Ehime, Japan.
Influenced by her background in animation, comics, Catholic iconography, and her interest in the fast-paced visuals of internet culture, Mila‘s work deals with themes of identity, collective nostalgia, and personal mythologies.
identity and self- expression in our time.Influenced by the Japanese Superflat movement, Colombian precolonial arts, current world events, and my experience working in animation, I blend pop-inspired visuals with personal narratives, often drawing on symbolism from Catholicism, Japanese animation and precolombian mythologies. All aspects present in my formative years in Colombia.
In my work I apply acrylics onto canvas in a free, almost childlike quality, using unrefined shapes alongside more complex rendering methods to develop avatars that encapsulate different modules of my identity. This approach allows me to overlap my younger self's Intuitive energy with my present self's logical thought process, allowing collaboration between these two contradictory and sometimes conflicting identities on the canvas.
