About

 

 

 

Monica is a Uruguayan abstract painter currently based in Los Angeles and London. Her focus centers on exploring how our connections to land, lineage, and identity shape us individually, within our families, and as a society.

"While in Uruguay driving on a dirt road, surrounded by grazing animals and the scent of eucalyptus trees, I felt an overwhelming burst of emotion. I stopped the car, stepped out, and put my hands on the ground, discovering uncharted pathways within myself. Throughout history, wood, soil, and fire have been integral to artistic rituals, carrying the imprints of countless generations. Now, these materials in the land serve as a conduit for cultural and ancestral connections in my work.”
