Andrés Monnier is a Mexican Artist, born in Guadalajara and now based in Ensenada.
His purpose is to create sculptural pieces to express stories through the synergy between art, design and sculpture. This collection is inspired by Greek Mythology, with natural rock and form at its core. WHEN YOU ARE BORN YOU ARE ASSIGNED WITH A NAME AND BASED ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION YOU WERE BORN AND THE EPOCH OF TIME, YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY A SERIES OF SOCIOCULTURAL CONDITIONINGS (RELIGION, CULTURE, NATIONALITY, STEREOTYPES, CONSTRUCTS) THAT DICTATE THE WAY YOU HAVE TO PERCEIVE YOUR EXISTENCE. MEANING YOU’LL HAVE A REFERENCE OF HOW YOU HAVE TO BUILD A SYSTEM OF BELIEVES THAT MOSTLY YOU ARE NOT CONSCIOUS ABOUT. MENS IS A PIECE THAT ALLUDES TO THE CONCEPT OF WHAT WE CALL MIND. THIS BODY OF WORK INVITE US TO QUESTION THE WAYS ON HOW THIS HUMAN WORLD WORKS AND ANALYZING HISTORY CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE ON WHERE ARE WE LEADING THIS WORLD. THE HUMAN WORLD IS AN IMAGINARY WORLD, MEANING THAT MOSTLY EVERYTHING WE CONCEIVE IS JUST AN IDEA. NATIONALITIES, RELIGIONS, CULTURE, CAPITALISM, CONSUMERISM, MONEY AND A LOT OF EXCUSES THAT ARE JUST FEEDING AN ANTHROPOCENTRIC SYSTEM THAT IS KILLING THE PLANET WE LIVE IN. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY TO REALLY CHANGE THE WORLD? MAYBE IF WE START TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT AS AN INDIVIDUAL WE ARE PROGRAMMED THEN WE CAN CREATE A COLLECTIVE CHANGE? Available in all standard finishes with custom materials and sizing available upon request.
