Begmont

Belén García Montoya (Gijón, Asturias, 1975). She is graduated in Fine Arts in Seville (1993 - 1998), although she studied her first years at the University of Salamanca.

Begmont is the pseudonym she uses to sign her work, which is irremediably linked to her, since she was born as such.

Urban art, comics and illustration are at the genesis of her aesthetics. He usually builds scenes full of color, formed by one or several pieces, where a story is told and where there is no aesthetic or thematic separation. He tries, from his works, to make available to the viewer a game between language and drawing and if possible, that this game leads to reflection.

His pieces are based on the word, and the word on drawing and color, thus creating a constant and difficult to separate framework.

The characters function, at times as alter egos of the author herself and at other times they simply show or establish cartographies of those things in life related to emotions, fears, dreams, expectations, everyday life.... This is why her work can be defined as personal and intimate with the desire to settle in the viewer's consciousness, without giving respite to evasion.
