Teresa Monmas

Teresa has a degree in fine arts from the university of Valencia. After finishing she spent the first year film directing in barcelona. Following this Teresa returned to Mallorca to live and started her career as a versatile artist spending a few years making video clips and short films, at wich time she also made paintings with chinese ink and watercolors, and began to tinker with ceramics. The definitive step was when she went to Tenerife, to work for a friend in her ceramic workshop.

What is your discipline and when did you first encounter it?

TRULY, I AM A VERSATILE ARTIST. PASSIONATE ABOUT CERAMICS, PAINTING (ESPECIALLY CHINESE INK MIXED WITH WATERCOLOR) AND AUDIOVISUALS. I WOULD SAY THAT MY FIRST MEETING WAS WHEN I RETURNED TO THE ISLAND AND TOOK AN INTROSPECTIVE JOURNEY. ALTHOUGH THE TRIP TO TENERIFE PROMPTED ME TO DEDICATE MYSELF 100%. I BELIEVE THAT IN LIFE THERE ARE SMALL AWAKENINGS THAT MAKE YOU DISCOVER YOURSELF AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

Who are the key artists whose work inspires your own?

Egon Schiele, Pablo Picasso, Frederic Garcia Lorca, Jim Jarmusch

Tell us about your studio?

Wow, good question. My studio is a mess! It’s in my house in a room/study, although you could say that the house is the studio.

Who's on your dream dinner party guest list, and what do you serve?

I think that Tom Waits, both in his songs and in his interpretations, I can see his intensity and particular and deep vision. Dinner… I guess I would experiment, but with a mix of salty and sweet, and/or something with cilantro and lemon.

What's a film you watched and book you've read recently that had an impact on you?

Movies “The Lives of Others”, “The Perfect Sense”, “Down By Low”. Books “Niebla” by Unamuno, and now I’m with “Sexus” by Henry Miller.

If you weren't an artist, what would you have been?

Singer, running a cultural bar (where theatre, poetry recitals, concerts were performed…), street vendor of handicrafts and traveling the world.
