About the Item

Monica Piloni was born in Curitiba in 1978 and graduated from the Paraná School of Music and Fine Arts in 2002. She lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Looking at her work as a whole, one can see the artist's interest in the representation of the female figure, which began as a consequence of having her own body as a living model. Most of her works have a common feature in the way they are constructed: mirroring. This feature distorts the body by omitting or multiplying elements, creating another dimension in the perception of the human figure that attracts at the same time as it repels. In this way, Monica reflects on the female experience, which includes subjective procedures for adapting to characters, patterns of behavior and archetypes, fashion and cosmetics, as well as physical procedures such as mutilation and other body modifications, amplified in the female experience by Western and capitalist culture. The artist uses various languages, but mainly sculpture, whether physical, virtual, photographed, mounted on a base or installation, in different materials such as bronze, marble, ceramics, fiberglass, PETG, ABS and others. The self-portrait, which at first emerged out of convenience because she was the most available and viable living model, over time symbolically became a collective portrait of all women when she realized that what she was trying to express was a kind of collective account and that art is in fact the great promoter of social change.
