My name is Monica Ardila, born in Bogota but I'd been living in Barcelona for the last 10 years.I studied Humanities for a couple years and I just finished Electronic Art and Digital Design, I was lucky anough to interspersed my education with a formation of a Graphic Designer mother and a Painter and Photographer father (you can see part of his work here: www.flickr.com/photos/hernan_ardila).

For the moment everything starts as a small project, covering all my work in general. Here on this site you can see: Video, Illustration, Photograph and Handmade, with many surprises and secrets inside. Basically, I tried to put in each work cuts and details that are special to me; in that way every single one is a collection of carefully chosen details.

I love going to flea markets for antiques, books, magazines and junk ...

I try to find a link between digital media and traditional artistic disciplines, in two ways, conceptually and technically. What is important to me is primarily a manual approach to art production, make use of video and different animation techniques as a way to view my subjectivity and be able to show it well.

I consider that is not important foothold in a technique or a particular area, but use all the tools that are within my reach, both digital and analog tools. Always in function of the idea, under a metaphorical language and intimate.
