NYDIA LOZANO

Since she was very young, in her town of Alginet, Nydia Lozano felt the need to put on paper her impressions about the Valencia.

countryside and towns. Her belfries and her familiar faces interested José Espert, the first person to speak with her about painting and probably, the first one that was able to speak about painters like Sargent, in the early 60s-. He realized that Nydia's path was already chosen and he helped her to follow it.

The first important step was her inscription at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Carlos, in Valencia, in 1965. During those five terms she exhibited for the first time, enjoyed a scholarship in Rome and won several prizes that confirmed her vocation; and, amongst the prosaic lessons and the old cloister of the School she met who would eventually be her husband, the painter Leopoldo Sánchez.

In the year 1974, both moved to Barcelona, when Nydia's paintings suggested a reality, between the abstract and her dreams, the far away landscapes, essential, motionless. But soon enough the mute speech of her landscapes embraced with its words the feminine figure, which, today, is the core of her work. A work where she is trying to impress the appearance of whatever is alive: the skin, the hands, plants, tissues, the light on the wall the cadenza of a hand over the chest. But, insensibly, without a line to emphasize the change, so that the eye may orderly and peacefully look with the same order and peace Nydia longs for, in her life.She is born in Alginet (Valencia).

She studies from 1965 to 1971 at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Carlos, in Valencia.She exhibits for the first time in 1969, in Valencia.
