Based between Paris and London, her practice explores transformation, vulnerability, and the unstable architectures of identity in contemporary culture.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eWith over a decade of experience working with leading brands and magazines in the fashion industry, her images operate as psychological mirrors, revealing the intimate moment when identity destabilises and reconfigures itself—echoing themes of resilience, metamorphosis, and the cyclical nature of the self.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eAt the core of her work is a deep engagement with duality: softness and strength, evolution and decay, organic form and artificial construction, tenderness and rupture. Losada’s visual worlds emerge through layered surfaces, altered bodies and sculptural arrangements that blur the line between reality and metaphor. Her practice often draws on the continuous cycles of birth, death, and rebirth—translating these rhythms into visual languages of fragmentation, renewal, and emotional intensity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eHer approach is grounded in both creative intuition and academic rigor. Losada holds studies in Engineering, Food Science \u0026amp; Technology, and Fashion, and her work is driven by scientific curiosity—particularly neuroscience, neuroplasticity, somatic experience, and the psychology of perception. These fields inform her ongoing interest in the human mind, embodied memory, and the invisible forces shaping contemporary identity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eHer latest series GRIT investigates the unseen thresholds of artistic becoming. It reflects on the quiet, interior intervals where an artist refines their vision—moments of doubt, persistence, longing, and clarity that exist far from public recognition. GRIT speaks to the emotional stamina and inner continuity that sustain a creative life, illuminating the private terrain where transformation quietly takes root.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eLosada’s artistic trajectory includes exhibitions at the Johannesburg Art Fair, Cape Town Art Fair, GRIT in Atlanta, the Radical Beauty Project at EMOP Berlin, Light Visions Gallery (Times Square, 27sqm), A Tribute to Expression in Copenhagen, and Nike x One Block Down in Milan. Her work has appeared in large-scale presentations, including monumental installations across New York’s Times Square.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eShe is the recipient of multiple international awards, including the British Fashion Awards’ New Wave Creatives (2018 \u0026amp; 2019), the African Fashion Film Awards (Best Film \u0026amp; Best Music) (2024), and finalist placements in the HIPA Photography Awards (Power \u0026amp; Portfolio) (2025). She completed the Palm Heights Artist Residency in the Cayman Islands (2023).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eMovement is a central force in Losada’s practice—not simply as physical gesture, but as emotional velocity. Her images capture bodies in states of transition, suspension, or rupture, reflecting the instability of identity in a rapidly shifting world. Rather than document movement, she studies it as a psychological phenomenon: the tremor before change, the impulse that precedes transformation, the silent tension of a body negotiating its own becoming. This dynamism—sometimes fluid, sometimes strained—creates an intensified sense of presence, positioning movement as a metaphor for the constant recreation of the self.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"16\"\u003eLosada’s inspirations draw from cinema’s most atmospheric and emotionally charged languages. The luminous melancholy, suspended gestures of Wong Kar-Wai form a foundational influence on her understanding of light, memory, and emotional rhythm. , as well as the surreal psychological architectures of David Lynch, the poetic realism of Abbas Kiarostami, the symbolic, painterly intensity of Sergei Parajanov’s The Color of Pomegranates and the expressive use of color and mythic visual storytelling in Zhang Yimou’s “Hero. Losada’s visual language also draws from Japanese cult and experimental cinema. Beyond cinema, she is influenced by London’s late-70s and 80s punk and goth movements, reimagined female archetypes through history, mythology, neuroscience, yoga, and the layered architecture of the human psyche.\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4631\/9011\/collections\/3D9A3533LR.jpg?v=1764425508","url":"https:\/\/aldayhunken.com\/collections\/eva-losada.oembed","provider":"Alday Hunken Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
