Montse Vendrell

Born in 1959 in Paris, France.

She completed the French baccalauréat in Barcelona and spent two years in the Faculty of Biology in the Autonomous University of Barcelona before graduating in 1985 from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona in the speciality of painting.

She took doctoral courses from 1986 to 89 and in 1991 she began her teaching career in the MASSANA School of Art and Design in Barcelona (where she still works).

Meanwhile, she has had several exhibitions that trace the gradual transition in her work towards the fusion of art and natural sciences.

A member of Greenpeace since 1986, she actively participates in the project to replant local species in the Garraf Natural Park (Barcelona) that began in 2000.

RECENT WORK

Fascination with nature is the connection that brings together two apparently disparate processes: that of the observation and reprsentation of natural forms and that of work based on abstract morphologies.

As in the theory of parallel universes, both approaches explore the world through a gaze that seeks to interpret an essential unity of the universe in a dimensional zoom, from quantum physics to the possible configurations of the cosmos, from reality to the imaginary.

The idea of fusing in a single image the energy contained in the visible forms of nature is accompanied by colour and light, the energetic and symbolic expressions of matter.

The concentric vision of composition refers to the idea of origin.

The work on show below was begun in the 1990s.
