Collection: Begmont

Belén García Montoya (Gijón, 1975). Graduated in Fine Arts in Seville (1993 – 1998), although she studied her first years of studies at the University of Salamanca.

Begmont is the pseudonym he uses to sign his work, and which has been irremediably linked to it, since he was born as such.

Urban art, comics and illustration are at the genesis of his aesthetics. He usually builds scenes full of color, made up of one or several pieces, where a story is told and where there is no aesthetic or thematic separation. He tries, based on his works, to make available to the viewer a game between language and drawing and, if possible, for this game to lead him to reflection.

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

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