Ana Monso
Ana Monsó (Barcelona, 1998) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist, based in between Madrid and London, whose practice draws heavily from memories, explo- ring new territories and fleeting motifs that appear to dissolve as soon as they take shape.
In her paintings, Ana strives to convey a sense of calm—a counterpoint to the cons- tant expression of ideas that defines today’s fast-paced world. Her use of unfinished brushstrokes and colours that intentionally remain in flux reflects her belief in the beauty of impermanence. This technique encourages the viewer to reflect on the idea of new beginnings and empowers them to contemplate on a future which, much like her art, is rarely concrete or final.
Ana holds a master’s degree in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2024), following studies in Art and Design at Cambridge and Fashion Design at the University of the Arts, London. Ana’s series ‘¿se les sacude el pólvo a los árboles?’ garnered significant acclaim, earning her the European Region M&C Saatchi Group and Saatchi Gallery’s Art for Change Prize, and her works were proudly exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, London, in November 2024. Her exhibition history includes her first solo show at Pigment Gallery, Barcelona (2021), and a follow-up solo exhibition in 2022. She participated in a two-person exhibition at Ghost Gallery, Paris, in 2023 and was a resident artist at Piramidón, Barcelona, while also showing her work at several European art fairs. Most recently, in 2024, Ana exhibited at D Contemporary Gallery, London
