Modfellows - WeHo

 

No.5 (2022) Acrylic, pastel and graphite on canvas

 
 

Modfellows presents the chromatic, atmospheric abstractions of Ana Carolina Mönnaco. Mönnaco’s history in architecture has pushed her to peer past the structured world in which we live, to convey the unbound world which surrounds us. She is interested in the continuous reaching of life. She says, “we live with this blurred and fractured vision of the world, yet inside each of us there’s an undeniable conviction that something beautiful and perfect still exists beyond our grasp.” In response to this, Mönnaco uses a sophisticated color palette and inspiration found in the beauty of the natural world to create rich environments which encapsulate the viewer by surrounding them with wonderment of the unknown.
