Mónica Leitão Mota

My work explores the relationship between transparencies and opacities and their successive, infinite number of shades, textures and colours. I make stitched drawings using recycled fabrics collected and preserved with the only intention of cutting, layering and stitching them in a way that aims to capture light, contrast and depth. The tactile contrasts obtained by the graphic stitched lines and the source materials that I use, like the organza, translate the essential drive and inspiration of my current artwork.
