CARMEN MONTERO

ABOUT

Hello and welcome.

I am a contemporary painter whose work explores the relationship between landscape, memory, and emotion through an atmospheric and sensory visual language. My practice focuses on nature as a space of contemplation and transformation, creating landscapes that move beyond literal representation to become emotional and immersive experiences through layers, transparencies, textures, and fragmented compositions.

Throughout my career, I have presented solo and group exhibitions in Spain and Italy, while also participating in contemporary art projects and fairs. My pictorial research moves between figuration and abstraction, exploring the boundaries between the visible, the remembered, and the imagined. Vegetation, water, horizons, and open spaces appear in my work as living structures connected to memory, silence, and the passage of time.

Rather than depicting specific places, my paintings seek to reconstruct atmospheres and sensations. Matter, gesture, and light become tools for evoking states of calm, fragility, and transformation, inviting the viewer into a slow and intimate contemplation. I currently continue developing new series focused on contemporary landscape and the emotional experience of nature from my studio in Madrid, Spain.
