Mónica Figueroa

Born in 1991 in Mexico City, Mónica's creative journey is characterized by a multifaceted exploration of themes and emotions. Currently residing in Oaxaca while maintaining a dynamic artistic presence between Oaxaca and Mexico City, she holds a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts from the Arts and Design Faculty of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions not only within Mexico but also in locations as distant as Romania and Slovenia.

At the core of her creative philosophy is the perception of her paintings and drawings as intellectual pursuits. These visual essays seek to unravel questions and lingering uncertainties inherent to the human experience, delving into themes such as the meaning of life, human relationships, the enigma of mortality, the shadows of the unknown, and the complexities of anxiety and uncertainty.

Through her art, Mónica aims to enhance and deepen the narratives surrounding women, empowering them by enriching the ways in which their stories are depicted and understood. Her drawings and paintings feature women characters navigating complex environments and powerful experiences, alongside animals and nature as equal companions.

Her artistic journey has earned recognition from FONCA’s Young Creators program in the years 2015-2016 and 2019-2020.
