Monsa Domingo

Monsa Domingo delves into existential questions about the mysteries of life through her art. Her personal experiences are intricately embedded in her work, fostering genuine dialogues with the viewer. With a distinctive style, she combines painting and sculpture, creating three-dimensional beauty in each piece and ephemeral installations.

 

Her work captures the essence of matter, transforming it into “living stones” with circular and rectangular volumes that symbolize the duality of the physical and spiritual realms, connecting us to both the tangible and intangible.

 

Her tireless passion for matter, cultivated over the years, has led her to capture in her works the quantum of atoms, those fundamental particles whose intertwining and vibration shape the reality that surrounds us, from everyday objects to the most immense, such as mountains, landscapes, planets and stars.

 

 

 She was born and lives in Barcelona.
 
From the outset, Monsa Domingo has distinguished herself with her textured and abstract style, creating large-scale works that quickly opened the doors to exhibitions at prestigious institutions, such as the CCCB Museum in Barcelona in 2004.

 

 

Over the next fifteen years, her work gained significant visibility in Eastern markets, which were relatively unexplored at the time. In 2005, she collaborated with the Sofia Gaspar Gallery in Hong Kong, and from 2006 onward, with the Art Andalus Gallery in the United Arab Emirates. There, she participated in prominent international exhibitions such as "The Millionaire Fair" in Dubai (2006) and "New Generation Ibero-American Art" at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi (2008), receiving extensive media coverage, especially from the Spanish press and television.

 

 

In 2012, while based in Dubai, she was a finalist in the competition for the Burj Dubai Lake project, with a striking 15-meter sculpture situated among the lake's fountains.

 

At the same time, her career in Barcelona was flourishing. In 2007, she was a finalist for the Vilacasas Foundation Painting Prize and exhibited at the Miquel Alzueta Gallery in Barcelona, as well as the Palau de Casavells in Empordà, Girona. The IESE Business School also features several of her large-scale pieces in its modern buildings as part of its permanent collection.

 

 

In addition, she has contributed to several editions of Casa Decor Barcelona and created multiple ephemeral art projects for the company Sibaris.

 

 

In Madrid, Monsa Domingo has exhibited in galleries such as Jorge Alcolea and Lucía Mendoza, the latter in collaboration with the Pablo Horstmann Foundation. She is also known for her large-scale ephemeral installations, including an 80 m² sculpture, "Fósil de luz," created for Simorra's show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2023. Her work has also been featured in multiple editions of Casa Decor Madrid over the years.
