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. FULL OF SYMBOLISM, BAPTISM IS AN INITIATION RITE. ADOPTED BY MANY RELIGIONS AS PART OF THEIR CONSTITUTION. AN ANCIENT PRACTICE OF USING WATER TO PURIFY LIFE, NOT ONLY IN A PHYSICAL, BUT IN A SPIRITUAL LEVEL. WHEN WE ARRIVE TO THIS HUMAN EXPERIENCE, WE ARE SURROUNDED BY CULTS AND RITS... BY MANY CULTURES, RELIGIONS, AND SOCIOCULTURAL CONDITIONINGS. BAPTISM IS AN ACT OF COMMUNITY INCLUSION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, AN IMPOSED ACT BASED ON ANCIENT PRACTICES. A SYMBOL OF PROTECTION BUT IN PARALLEL, AN ACT OF CONDITIONING. THE PIECE SERVES AS A HUMAN KIND REPRESENTATION. HAND-CRAFTED FROM A UNIQUE AND SINGLE STONE BLOCK AS A SYMBOL OF OUR GENESIS, OF EARTH. IN FUNCTIONALITY, THE WATER IS GOING IN AND GOING OUT, A SYMBOL OF LIFE. HUMANS AS WATER, ALWAYS IN MOVEMENT, NEVER STATIC. Available in all standard finishes with custom materials and sizing available upon request.

EXPECTED LEAD TIME     18/22 WEEKS
