Rosana de Montfort



Sobre el Artista


Introduction Her paintings have been described as "visionary works". From the neo-surrealist's perspective, she managed to fascinate art collectors around the world. Her most important provocative painting, which describes an apocalyptic event called "05.10.2020", stirs up the excitement among art connoisseurs, as it awakens both the feeling of distress and calm. As a skeptical dreamer, she is focused on comparing old times and current events from the angle of an observer. Feeling a change in social behaviour and the natural environment, she is anticipating escalation and clarification. Her work reflects the tendency of a woman who, through growth in several political situations and several countries, has developed a view of the world through the clash of contradictions. Creating styles Rosana's tendency in art is not following a trend, a cultural stream, or a fashion wave. Her production depends on the feeling that is tied to a given time, space and the message. Her paintings can come to us from the distant past or breathe the atmosphere of the future. Each scene absorbs as much of its environment as possible, therefore her technique and style vary from picture to picture. The media she uses for her paintings are mostly canvases, acrylic, oil paints, synthetics, sand, plaster, charcoal and pencils. She likes modern abstractions, but also chiaroscuro. Her paintings represent a Neo-surrealist era where she can immediately use all her skills and dreams at once. Development, idols and mentors Filling the world around her with images and shaping it to satisfy her gently narcissistic nature began at an early age. She painted 3D pictures at the age of 4, then had her first public appearances at the age of 6, drawing buildings in the town's square. By the age of 14 she has filled her home with paintings and sculptures. Having both very artistic parents, she has spent her childhood among the best of the Czech cultural and creative society including her mentors and teachers: Karel Žaluda, Jiří (Giorgio) Stejskal, Věra Boudníková-Špánová, David LLoyd, Jaroslav Domiter. She is mesmerized by the works of Cesar Santos, Steven DaLuz, Hieronymus Bosch, Salvador Dalí, Peter Paul Rubens and others. Travels Permanent life abroad since 1991 has offered a wide variety of possibilities where her style of creation has found fertile soil. The collection of her art can be found in private collections, but also in business and corporate premises in many EU countries. It was in the UK that she managed to maintain a stable client base and at the same time develop her style with several new modern techniques and media. It was a 3D art, street art, graffiti and music production for British TV channels like Channel U, BBC Channel 4 and Lion TV, where she met her crowd in the creative heart of London. She had participated in exhibitions and opportunities for artistic production, as well as offers for creative positions in the music industry. Workshops and merits The two main workshops are in Clacton-on-Sea (UK) and Bílovec (CZ), where she stores the majority of her latest work in the recently restored 18th century countryside estate. Her newly acquired premises of Gallery Montfort (Gallery M) is undergoing a vast reconstruction and will be officially open to public in May 2020. She participates in a variety of charity projects in Europe and the US, which has earnt her awards by City Councillors and the White House. Together with other awarded participants she was given the International Prize Velazquez 2019 in MEAM European Modern Art Museum Barcelona on the 06.04.2019, International Prize Michelangelo received in Brancaccio Palace in Rome on the 14.07.2019 and two Awards of Excellence as the finalist of INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY MASTERS in Santa Barbara (CA).
