About Enrique Monraz Ponce:
One might never stop to think how the creases in an old man's face can be
likened to a city grid from an aerial view until studying the contemporary
figurative works of Enrique Monraz Ponce. The
unexpected juxtaposition of elements in his work consistently create
intricate compositions that challenge the way the viewer sees ordinary people
and objects. Monraz Ponce uses detailed
brushstrokes to skillfully fuse beautiful portraits with glimpses of nature,
architecture and other intriguing elements. While there are stark contrasts
between the elements in his work, Monraz Ponce
manages to create a sense of balance, interconnectedness and harmony. While
the artist characterizes his work as being universal, he attributes the use
of color in his work to the vibrancy of his Mexican heritage.
Enrique Monraz Ponce was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and began painting at the
age of 13. He later ventured to Europe to gain inspiration from the
work of the masters and study in Perugia, Italy. He currently lives in Mexico where he has participated in
several competitions and exhibitions.
