Collection: Begmont

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

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

Urban art, comics and illustration are at the genesis of his aesthetics. He usually constructs scenes full of colour, made up of one or several pieces, where a story is told and where there is no aesthetic or thematic separation. Through his works, he tries to make available to the spectator a game between language and drawing and, if possible, that this game leads him to reflection.

His pieces are based on words, and words on drawing and colour, thus creating a constant framework that is difficult to separate.

The characters function, at times, as the author's own alter ego 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 establish itself in the viewer's consciousness, without giving any respite to evasion.
