Meet Monica Villarreal in Paradise Valley

Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Villarreal.

Monica is a Mexican artist, born to artists Guadalupe Garza Dikinzon and Sergio Villarreal Uribe in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. From an early age, she was surrounded by art. The art that hung on the walls of her childhood home were masterpieces created by her parents, each capturing different facets of human emotion. Their art inspired her to create her own art. Monica began to paint in 2012 when she moved from her hometown to Phoenix, Arizona.

Since 2012, Monica has painted surreal nature, including enchanting images of flying fish and hummingbirds. Through her art, she seeks to amplify consciousness of the symbiotic relationship between self and nature in others. Monica hopes her art will help others see the magical world of nature all around them. She also hopes her art will show others why they should nurture the world around them, not harm it.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Making Art it’s always a challenge, for many reasons but it’s one of the most beautiful works to create ideas and make stories in our artwork for the people…

Monica Villarreal– what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I have a small studio in my home where I paint every day, I make a lot works on paper, canvas and wood… Most of the times its surreal nature, like flying fishes or another animals but I like to change their real colors to make them magical…

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
I’m proud to keep making what I love since 7 years ago… I love to paint everyday, a lot of hours, it’s a pleasure and hard work to make art, one of the best things in my life…
