Houston based visual artist, Monica Melgar, has been pursuing her professional art career for the past 6 years. Although she studied Graphic Communication at the Art Institute of Houston, her painting skills are self taught. It all started from her constant doodling in high school that she used to relax her stressed mind.
During her childhood her parents moved back and forth between Mexico and the U.S. and as a result, her artistic expressions are influenced by the vivid colors and delicate patterns found in Mexican artisanry. Her painting style has now changed from tiny dashes to fine linework that create abstract images that sometimes take on an accidental form of a flower or a sea creature. Most of her recent paintings are made with acrylic gouache paint that allows her to use very fine paint brushes and fine lines that mimic a fine marker.
“Oftentimes I’m asked what the inspiration is behind my pieces because they don’t look like anything in particular. All I can say is that I’m actually not thinking of anything when I doodle or start a painting. It starts with one line. Maybe a straight line, maybe a swirl, sometimes a circle and then it grows one line at a time. From then I keep adding and adding until there’s nothing else to add.” - Monica Melgar
