Artist Lola Montejo creates abstract expressionistic paintings that are the results of layering seemingly incongruous materials, textures, colors, techniques, and processes that result in intriguing compositions that slowly reveal themselves. Lola’s paintings are the synthesis of ideas and reactions to her materials. The structure of her paintings begins with deliberate shapes and marks but as she builds or deconstructs the surface, it becomes an organic process, a conversation between the artist, her materials, and the work of art.
Lola Montejo is a Professor at the Metropolitan State University of Denver where she teaches painting and drawing. She has exhibited her work in Colorado; California; Texas; Mexico City, Mexico; and Berlin, Germany.
