Maria Monegro - Lovers by the Lake - S

Artist: María Monegro (Dominican, b. 1990)
María Monegro is a Dominican painter whose figurative work explores the body, identity, and joy through a boldly saturated palette. Working primarily in oil on canvas, her compositions center the female form with an unapologetic warmth — bathed in deep reds, magentas, and golden tones that evoke both intimacy and celebration. Pieces like I Per Sempre Més (2021) reflect her interest in reclaiming the gaze, presenting her subjects not as passive but radiant and self-possessed. Monegro's painterly approach balances classical figuration with a contemporary sensibility rooted in her Caribbean heritage, creating work that is at once personal and universal.
