Monica Cuellar

I am a Bristol based artist originally from Spain.

My art celebrates the natural world, capturing its vibrant colours and light.

Inspired by the Mediterranean's warmth and the nuanced light of the UK, my intimate botanical landscapes are detailed yet balanced and harmonious.  

My artworks are constructed using multiple layers of paint to create depth and a luminous finish, often incorporating gold leaf to evoke warmth and reverence.

I aim to invite viewers to lose themselves in the intricate details of each piece, allowing them to step back and emotionally connect with the joyful vibrancy and light that emerge from the composition
