Sharing the World of Imaginary Tales with Maria Montiel

Melting Pot

Episode 10 is a conversation with Maria Montiel an award-winning painter and textile artist from Spain whose work has been shown both domestically and in the United States.

Maria uses her work to express the difficulty of maintaining memories as an immigrant. Montiel’s surreal ecosystems of colour and movement convey stories of lives left behind, “dancing into a new world.” She mostly works on canvas with watercolours and gouache.

Stay tuned to hear more from Maria on textile art & her take on paintings in the upcoming episode with our host Payal Nayar.
