Montserrat is a painter living and working in Granollers (1980, Spain). Nowadays she uses collage as a common thread in all her works. Which navigates through paintings and textile works. Her favourite theme to explore is the impermanence of life and what female lineage means for her. She creates abstract collages on paper or vintage fabric or canvas, together with her use of handmade natural inks and stitching; her compositions relate to all those different textures. Her creative language comes from collage fiber works, where she explores human fragility and natural poetry of life itself. Connecting every brush stroke or piece of paper to happiness, silence and fertile chaos. Her creative approach is intriguing because of the connection between human development and art. The arttherapeutical discipline she undertakes to depict her abstract paintings is comparable to human blossoming, intending to express not only the final reach but rather the whole emotional journey. Montserrat aims to help people to reconnect with authentic feelings of comfort through art. She believes indeed that although we often may experience sensations of denial or fear in life, there is always a familiar place where to keep ourselves safe and sheltered. She says about her work: “My deep knowing that life is unpredictible, raw and fragile, but beautiful because of that makes me use collage in differents forms, on canvas, paper or hanging sculptures. Collage expresses the ephemeral and beauty of our life. We built our story with our experiences, but we just can be fully in it when we forgot our past and future and focus in the present moment”.
