Belén García Montoya (Gijón, 1975) is the pseudonym she uses to sign her work, and which has been inextricably linked to it since it was born as such.
Graduated in Fine Arts in Seville (1993-1998), although she studied her first years at the University of Salamanca.
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. Through his works, he tries 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 drawing and color, thus creating a constant framework that is difficult to separate.
The characters work, at times as the author's alter ego and other times they simply show or establish cartographies of those things in life related to emotions, fears, dreams, expectations, everyday life... For this reason, that his work can be defined as personal and intimate with a desire to settle in the viewer's consciousness, without giving truce to evasion.
