ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My paintings are far from being motivated by a desire to please the public, though undeniably, they are crafted to engage in dialogue. There is an inherent respect for the audience, a respect born from my own expressive needs. The symbols I use to construct my scenes serve the emotions that govern each painting. Sometimes they flirt with surrealism, sometimes with expressionism, but always, they rescue life experiences out of a deep personal need to fix them in place for myself. Yet, I share these experiences in hopes of finding empathy or awakening in others an emotional memory of the same kind. But what’s new about this? Isn’t this the process every artist follows? It may be true, but the depth of my message comes through thanks to a refined and sophisticated painting technique, visible not only in my figurative works but especially in my abstract ones. What sets my work apart is the organic yet careful development of a deeply personal style. This combination of attributes places us in front of what I believe to be true masterpieces, with enough reasons to claim these qualifiers; they reveal the intricate and multicultural life I’ve laid out on my canvases. In the collection of oil paintings I’ve created over the last few years, my self-image wanders as a creative pretext, alongside figures of loved ones and characters from legends and stories, all immersed in stylized environments. These compositions and the unique palette of colors are distinctly my own. This approach, free of common clichés, has allowed me to stand out in the artistic landscape of this region, inviting others to follow my journey—a journey that with each passing day, draws closer to different circles of art and culture, both in Mexico and around the world.

Monika Gabrys I was born in Cracow, Poland, however, since 2004 I live and represent Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. I am binational since 2009. I have a career of more than 20 years in painting and in the medium of visual arts. I have dedicated myself to painting, drawing, collage, I have experimented with engraving, contemporary textile art, installations, conceptual art and action art. As a painter I have been active since 1995, after having won first place in a local art festival FEKUSZ and I am still active, since in addition to the Master's artistic project I have just finished the other, selected and supported by the Merida Municipal Fund for the Visual Arts. My main focus is painting, although the label of the painter conflicts me, since my personal search has led me to experiment in different fields and with different media, that is, my position is flexible and open towards what is called interdisciplinary and trans art. I also have a Bachelor of Nursing degree (Institute of Human Sciences INCIH) and experience gained at the Medical Center of the Americas (CMA) and the Agustín O'Horán General Hospital, the fact that at first glance it could be seen as very abstracted from art . However, I consider it an extension of the same search that motivates me to make art, because in recent times, innumerable aspects have been opened that can be used in artistic paths. Painting seems to be a relic of the past, and yet it is still alive, because the act of painting accompanies the human being practically from the beginning. That is why my idea of two-dimensional painting and art oscillates around the questions —which are in accordance with my line of research—: How could painting, located in time and space, be reconciled with the accelerated and paradoxical transformations of contemporary world? How to figure and represent —through painting— our situation in space and time inevitably linking to the computerized and globally interconnected world-space? Because, definitely, we are facing a complex world, with an excess of information, images, screens, references and, now, a post-pandemic world. By choosing this medium (painting) I place myself again in "between” (which is part of my research). I am currently counter-producing with the collective "Des-obra".
