Monique Rozanes is a brilliant contemporary artist

We shouldn't be foolish, we should learn from history that it not convenient to let time go by in order to appreciate superb artworks. We would like to point out that she's not an anonymous artist, she has many years of working and exhibiting in world wide museums, showrooms and Art Galleries.

Born in Bordeaux, France she studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (París) and at the Ecole laboratorie St Gobain on Resines. Since 1956, she's done several solo exhibitions at the museums Chartres (France), Chaux de Fonds (Switzerland), Saint-Léger (Soissons-France), Rioja (Argentina); and galleries like P. Fachetti (Paris and Zurich), Art Shop (Bále - Switzerland), Rubbers, Praxis, Van Eyck and Kramer (Bs. As.), Arlette Gimaray (Paris), Sluis (Holland). Lelia Mordoch (Paris).

She obtained the Sculpture First Prize in the Alexandria International Biennial, Egypt and National Room and the Prize for Foreign Artist at the National Plastic Arts Saloon in Buenos Aires.

Her works are modern statements, and as such it's sometimes complicated to be as well as understood and appreciated as she should.

We found about Monique in a curious matter, for she's the widow to a prominent Argentinean artist, Leopoldo Torres Aguero -about whom we've written before, recuperating his works and style from a non deserved oblivion or blackout-.

She read our homage to her husband, and pleased with our work she contacted us. A total surprise and honor, but more over, we were astonished by her fabulous works when we met her at her house/workshop in Buenos Aires (her main atelier is in Paris).

This charismatic and cheerful woman, filled with energy and interesting aesthetic feel opened her house to us, shared her story with us. We hence began to project joint works in order to share with our world wide friends this new and fantastic discovery that Monique's works were to us.

Here's a bit about her, meet her through her works and words. We'll soon carry on a thoughtful interview and share much more about this great artist with you all!
