Waiting - Técnica mista S/Tela -90 x 1.50cm 

There is a dark side to art that does not end with the subjectivity of creative mystery or the undefinable web of emotions that huddle around dialogues with the exposed universe.

They all contain sounds, colours, spaces, movements, pauses and fleeting shadows of the emptiness that let us perceive what is no longer there - revealing joy or melancholy, awe and tenderness, solitude and anguish, the impetus plucked from love or the vertigo of bottomless abysses ...

Mónica manages to peek through the veil to see the poetry in everyday objects; the sweetness in a dog's eyes wrapped in the vastness of spaces that can free or oppress, the dark side of the truest artistic expression: that makes it human, or it is nothing!
