… which has inspired him since his childhood and formative years, and he then honed by regular schooling in art.
He has always alternated between works commissioned by private individuals, public bodies and graphics studios and independent artistic projects, though the inner desire to “draw and paint purely for personal pleasure” soon became predominant. A key element of Lauzana’s work is his ability to evolve and modify his artistic language.
His art is therefore presented as an “open work”, which may be interpreted in different and largely unexplored ways, in many ways anticipating the approach of many younger artists who work with a wide range of expressive forms in their reaction to the complexity and the sensorial and topological stimuli of life in our times, confirming that in artistic creativity it is typical to perceive and metabolize the turmoil of the age.
However, it is possible to identify an element of continuity in maintaining his relevance which, following his natural inclinations, envisages drawing as a structured graphic form, one which is expressed directly, without any form of mediation, in his graphic works, portraits and sketches, and becomes a solid base for his oil paintings.
Lauzana’s artistic personality is thus his ability to infuse his drawings with surprising alliterations and in forceful, luminous interpretations and allusions, in the knowledge that reality can manifest itself in many different ways, which he addresses in a free and candid manner thanks to a signic approach which demonstrates a knowledge of the various artistic currents and their languages, though without being unduly influenced.
One constant feature of Lauzana’s work, therefore, is his continuous reference to reality, which does not necessarily mean that he is a realist but rather that he explores reality, without a priori preconceptions or self-limitation, in order to discover its inexhaustible wealth.
His stylistic malleability has resulted in original interpretations of clarification processes in light of these underlying influences. As part of this contextualization, freedom of expression is necessarily interpreted as a vanishing point in a search for identity which evolved in a coherent manner over the years and continues to this day.
