Begmont (Belén García Montoya) - Vital Signs
Technique: Mixed
Artist Biography: Belén García Montoya (Gijón, 1975). Graduated in Fine Arts in Seville (1993 - 1998), although she studied her first years at the University of Salamanca. Begmont is the pseudonym she uses to sign her work, which is irremediably linked to her, since she was born as such. Urban art, comics and illustration are at the genesis of his aesthetics. He usually builds scenes full of color, formed by one or several pieces, where a story is told and where there is no aesthetic separation or Theme. He tries, from his works, to make available to the viewer a game between language and drawing and if possible, that this game leads to reflection. His pieces are based on the word, and the word on drawing and color, thus creating a constant and difficult to separate interweaving. The characters function, at times as alter egos of the author herself 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 settle in the viewer's consciousness, without giving respite to evasion."Vital Constants". Vital signs are the parameters that determine the state of a person. There are four: pulse, temperature, blood pressure and respiration. Under these four background constants, a series of works are developed, which go beyond the medical parameters and approach a more poetic and personal field, sometimes using puns, metaphorical language and irony and trying to convey a vital and positive message. There are numerous factors that can modify the vital signs of an individual, but the organism tends to keep them regulated. In the same way that there are numerous adversities throughout life, but we always try to face them and move forward. The different characters that flood the work, continue to maintain themselves, although sometimes they see their parameters altered. It is a Theme, repeated many times in previous works by Begmont, and serves as a great engine and impetus to convey this plea towards life, towards "not giving up" and finally maintain our vital constants, but not without more, but being aware of it and taking advantage of the moments. With an apparently childish aesthetic halfway between illustration and comic, Begmont tries to hide much deeper and more important meanings from a friendly appearance. In short, let's live, above all, let's live!!! Begmont
