About The Artwork
This period of focused isolation and daily reminders of our own mortality has created within me a sense of urgency to connect with my parents, who immigrated to the US from Uruguay when I was six years old. I found myself wanting to know more about their stories, motivations, dreams and fears. What borders they broke, why, and at what cost. I began to ask questions and listen closely, sitting with each of them one on one in my studio for hours. I’d then paint with their stories in my ears and in my heart. And I found something surprising – a fuller and more rich understanding of who they really are — not from the perspective of a young child, but as a woman, an artist, finally and truly seeing them fully. This is something new for me. Not only is the subject matter deeply personal, but I've also created a short film to accompany the work that I invite you to watch.

Monica Perez’s works are expressions of emotion—impulsive, spontaneous gestures of hands on canvas. Her aesthetic unites paint and design with strokes of abandon and constraints of composition. She predominantly works in acrylic and often merges tactile and digital techniques in a single piece. “I create these pieces to work through personal and creative struggles and it’s liberating to pour myself out, transferring what was inside onto canvas. Looking at the pieces now are like reading through specific pages of my journal and reflecting on the process has made me stronger. When others stand in front of these pieces, I hope they too remember emotional and defining moments in their lives.” Monica trained as a graphic designer in NYC and worked as a Creative Director/Director for over a decade at top design and production studios. Monica now focuses exclusively on her art. Monica was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and now lives in Venice with her husband, two children, and their French Bulldog, Storm.
