About the Item
The Spanish artist Mònica Castanys is inspired by everyday scenes. Moments, femininity and light are the basis of her paintings. Her color palette is reminiscent of the Impressionist, but with an expressive touch and her gaze is mainly focused on the female figure.
'I like to get lost in a city until something catches my eye. It could be the light, a person, or the sunlight reflecting off a glass of water'.
She works with oil on panel as this allows her to explore different techniques during the creative process.
'When I consider the most important elements in my creative process, the first strokes of the composition are the most instinctive part. The best thing about starting a painting is that you never know how it will end.'
Mònica Castanys graduated in 1993 from the School of Art and Design in Barcelona. She lives and works in San Just Desvem.

- Rabid - Cinema Inspired One Eyed Male Figure, Oil Painting on PanelLocated in Chicago, ILInspired by a still from the 1977 horror film, "Rabid". This is the division of morality. A portrait of an individual cast mostly in shadow. The only portion of his face hit with light has no eye, leaving him to only see through his darkness. The bold heavy brushstrokes of this painting give an abstract quality where the shadows and light are transformed it into a dynamic and vibrantly alive scene. Georgia Hinaris Rabid oil on panel 18h x 18w in 45.72h x 45.72w cm GHS010 Horror films are the most profound and visceral of films, garnering the most extreme responses: vehement hatred and cultish admiration. Horror elicits a controlled neurosis while exposing the rejected weaknesses and brutalities of humanity. I embrace the power of cinema and its ability to alter perception, as it is media that is a reflection of our primordial desires. I’m fascinated by concepts involving the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of morality in relation to nature, the paradoxical nature of reality, and the human struggle to reckon with uncertainty. Humans bear the burden of being as we are, all caught in a flux of unbelievable cognitive abilities and animalistic instincts. Every painting is in its own universe and I cater to it. Nothing is precious. Chaos is embraced.
