Ego is a piece that invites us to put into perspective the way we perceive our own reality and, above all, to question how self-centered we are as human beings. We are, in truth. Like so many other living species, a single race inhabits a planet we call “Earth.” Everything that exists above and beneath this fragile human world is connected: roots, hyphae, strata, tectonic plates... But how truly connected are we?Andrés Monnier is a Mexican artist born in Guadalajara and is based in Ensenada.He aims to create sculptural pieces to express stories through the synergy between art, design, and sculpture. In 2017 he founded his studio, where hand in hand with his team, created pieces with fire, art objects, and functional furniture with rock, glass, concrete, wood, and metal.At the end of 2020, Andrés began to create his first collection of pieces with rock. His signature material. It wasn't until 2021 that he (with studies in medicine and industrial engineering) decided to launch as an emerging artist and held his first exhibition entitled “Olympo”, in which he exhibited the 17 pieces of this first collection inspired by Greek Mythology.Monnier participated in his first exhibition as an artist in Tribeca, NY with Galerie Philia.His motivation is to use different techniques and languages of creation to innovate with his proposals for the world of conventional furniture. Monnier is a self-taught sculptor whose dream is to create and design his universe of pieces.
