Monica Bio
Mónica Bio. Visual artist and teacher (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
I studied Fine Arts, Systems Analysis, and Editorial Graphic Design.
I trained in drawing and painting workshops with various Argentine artists, including Domingo Méndez Terrero, Carlos Fells, María Luisa Manassero, Julio Lavallén, and Silvia Brewda.
I have participated in writing workshops for artists, art clinics and at NAT Art Residency (Cantabria).
Since 1989, I have been participating in solo and collective exhibitions at art galleries, cultural centers, and non profit organizations in Buenos Aires.
In 2025, I participated in the eighth edition of the International Mini Print Cantabria.
My work is characterized by the presence of duality, opposites, and the binary.
I understand art as a device for encounter and engagement; affecting others through evocative images that reach them.
I explore and investigate multiple paths to reveal secret aspects of my inner world and the world around me.
Emptiness Doesn't Wait, It Breathes (The Way - 04/2026)
Emptiness doesn't wait; it breathes.
It is presence, no longer a trace or absence.
It is present, it is here and now.
A gentle air where the gesture unfolds.
A calm space for enjoyment and contemplation.
A silence that gives form and meaning.
The fragility of incompleteness, the beauty that doesn't close.
It doesn't fill, it expands and moves.
A space that breathes, that reveals.
In that "almost," in the smallest detail, something is revealed.

Leaving the Cave. A world in the immensity (NAT Art Residency - 05/2025)
Leaving the cave.
Being a child again,
playing and exploring.
Fear is gone.
Regaining surprise
connected with nature.
Point and line,
Circles and footprints.
Time and space.
How many thousands of years!
How did we live so long ago?
How do I want to live today?
Layer upon layer
I shed heavy burdens
until I feel light
to fly and fly.
In search of the origin
I discover a world without measure
a place in the immensity
where I want to be today.
INMENSE
All I went through
All I felt
All I learned
All I dared
All I shared
All what surprised me
All that is yet to come…
