About
Born in the South of Spain (Córdoba, 1996) and postgratuated in Fine Arts by Seville University (2020), she is currently coursing a Master in Fine Arts about contemporary issues and artistic production. Since she was a child, she has always felt attracted to arts in many ways, from painting and drawing, to sports leaded by corporal expressivity, such as Rhythmic Gymnastics. She is actually living in Jerez de la Frontera, where she is also working on her painting and photograph everyday. Her work has been exhibited in groups expositions like “Bronce de Bellas Artes” (Sevilla, 2020), Sierra Elvira Art Contest (Granada, 2020), Artdoc Magazine Virtual Exhibition (2020), “Jóvenes Talentos” Guijuelo (2020), “Certamen Joven Artes Plásticas” (Calamonte), y “Persona” (Club Lumex, Rumanía).
Curator Review
Two Cameras, One Pocket
This absolutely fantastic contemporary portrait is a triumph in ‘perspective’. Moncada has strategically poised both her figure and the viewer as her ‘subjects’, creating a piece that celebrates the narrative of attitude, aspect and being. Her attention to detail whilst letting the paint speak in loose strokes and thin washes, gives depth and warmth to the entire piece, keeping the viewer transfixed. -E.E. Jacks Córdoba Spain
