SUS INVENTOS 🇲🇽

Style: Figurative
Technique: Mixed

L.D.C.G. Susana Lozano (Guadalajara, 1982) has the ability to unleash the hounds of creativity at just the right moment—using virtues like the subtlety of a simple stroke, punchy concepts through playful sketches, or magical details that dig deep inside.

At 17, Susi—before her alter ego Susinventos was even born—wandered through Guadalajara’s underground scene with her pink hair, hauling around her doodles full of dreams. Illustration, cartooning, design, and animation were calling out to her, loud and clear.

Not long after, her acid wit and irony splashed onto the pages of “Las Delicias del Matrimonio,” a comic strip published in Público Milenio in 2001, drawn by a girl who had zero interest in getting married. She later co-authored El libro monero, De vuelta a Verne, 13 viajes ilustrados, and El jergario tapatío for the Editorial Universitaria (UDG). For five years straight, she collaborated as both a digital and analog illustrator for the magazines Gorila and La Mosca en la Pared, published by Editorial Toukán. Her calligraphy and creations also showed up in El Informador, Publimetro, Ediciones Macmillan, CONAVIM (National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women), and IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People).

Back in 2010—way before “entrepreneur” became a buzzword—Susi self-published her first project: an illustrated card game called “Los Mándalas del Éxito” (The Mandalas of Success). That game kickstarted a whole line of graphic products and coloring books aimed at spreading good vibes, using imagination as her vehicle and quality as her compass.

Her journey expanded when she moved to Mexico City in 2012, where she published Mandalas para colorear (Coloring Mandalas). In 2016, now with her natural hair color, she co-authored a second book, Los mandalas de la evolución, this time made for kids. In 2019, she published her third: Los mandalas del amor, a book focused on female empowerment.

In 2020, she took the leap into muralism, scaling up her work to large formats. She painted walls for the Seminario de Cultura Mexicana, the Government of the State of Jalisco, and Téchala Gobierno Municipal.

Susi flirts with existence using a single brushstroke, lets herself be hugged by the bear of abundance, dreams with stars stuck to her face, and strolls—body bare—through universes built with India ink. These signals shape her identity and give her not just a voice, but a full-on howl with a denomination of origin.

She swears she’s still searching for her personal style.
Some of us believe she already found it.

José Antonio Martínez De la Cruz, better known as JAMDELAC, held his first solo exhibition at the Casa de la Cultura Tonacalli in Iztapalapa, Mexico City in 1999, an experience that encouraged him to continue on that path. Thanks to this and his curiosity, he later joined various artistic experimentation workshops – Graphic Design, Sculpture, and Painting – at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Armed with his stencils, he combines ink, spray paint, and acrylic, as well as elements of Mexican popular culture, dazzling us with works full of textures that invite observation. He aims not only to represent symbols or icons but also to include hidden messages in his works, many of which can be visualized under ultraviolet light, or even through 3D glasses. His willingness to show his work from any perspective gifts us with multisensory pieces that also add a new perception to what Mexico represents. From Iztapalapa to the World, 1982
