Mònica Subidé creates dreamlike paintings on linen and paper that incorporate oil paint, pencil, and sometimes minimal

collaged motifs. Her compositions are illusory and placid, focusing on abstracted figural and still life scenes. From her

muted color palettes to her unfinished lines and quasi-cubist approach to shading, Subidé paints in a mode that recalls the

work of midcentury Expressionists such as Egon Schiele, Ernst Kirchner, and the late work of Pablo Picasso. But her surfaces

cultivate a uniquely distanced, quiet warmth, one located in her figures’ magnetic and secretive faces, and in the limb-like

floral arrangements that complement them.
