Monica Nador

Brazil - 1955

Mônica Panizza Nador (Ribeirão Preto SP 1955).
Monica Nador wanted to make a revolution. She began her studies at the Faculty of Architecture of São José dos Campos. Soon in her first classes, she visited favelas. She believes it
necessary to know the lives of the people, how they lived, their needs and desires, and present solutions. Not merely technical solutions, carried out on office boards, but solutions combined, agreed upon, discussed with those who inhabited those shacks.
In São Paulo, she studied art at the Alvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP) and learned Art History, Aesthetics and art movements. Leaving the course with people talking about her promising career as an artist. She sold her first work and entered the circuit of galleries, halls and exhibitions in museums.
Monica, in the period of the dictatorship goes to the atelier and produces works about the here and now. Singulars experiences, full of repetitions of colors and forms, which through the use of repetition were becoming something new. But she wanted to go further, because the atelier was not enough for her. The frame was limiting. The galleries were insufficient and the small world of the arts seemed smaller and smaller. She studied art at the University of São Paulo when the Paredes Pinturas project appeared, proposing a deconstruction of the art model she had learned in the academy and in museums. But what interested Monica was to insert the artistic production in the flow of life, to go where the people were.
