Mónica Barbará

Such is the difference in the places I have lived, that my paintings reflect true contrasts."

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with studies in Engineering, she moved to Madrid in her youth where she began to paint. Self-taught at the beginning.
She lived in various countries, such as Denmark, France, and South Africa, whose diversity gave her a broader vision of the world.

Thanks to this broader vision, her styles and paintings diversified.
Her first paintings of nature and landscapes are influenced by French Impressionist painting.
Later, attracted by the African savannah, she painted landscapes and some wild animals.
Urban landscapes also play an important role. "I love cities, probably because I was born and raised in one."
She also experiments with material painting, creating textured abstract works where marine tones predominate.

"I am struck by the colors and light of different places. I like people to see them through my eyes, evoking some memory of travels or distant places."
