Jennifer Agricola Mojica explores the complexities of human connection, the search for meaning in motherhood, and the fragile nature of security in an ever-changing world. In recent years, her paintings have embarked on an existential journey, delving into the transient concepts of safety and vulnerability. Through abstraction and raw, visceral responses, she investigates the delicate balance within these spaces. Her process begins with disruption and gradually moves toward a subtle, harmonious stillness. Planes shift, shapes repeat, and forms emerge from varying perspectives. Figures fragment and reassemble, capturing fleeting moments of unity amidst complexity. Each brushstroke reflects her pursuit of an image that resonates with a deeper sense of belonging. As a mother of two, Mojica navigates a continual process of learning, where discomfort and beauty intertwine. These lived experiences infuse her work, shaping the compositional space with echoes of everyday life. Motifs such as houses, birds, and figures hover between realism and abstraction, exploring themes of rest, vulnerability, and maternal instinct. In her practice, she builds and deconstructs—constructing, covering, and uncovering compositions. This dynamic process creates a dialogue between the artwork, the creator, and the viewer. Through layers of distortion and repetition, she invites reflective contemplation on the ever-evolving nature of connection and selfhood.
