In search of one's own line: Interview with Jorge Regueira

30/08/2021 by Monapart

Jorge is a visual artist as skilled with a paintbrush as he is with words. His professional experience, always linked to the world of advertising, led him to play with words and make the most of them, and as could not be otherwise, both passions merged into a single discipline: calligraphic pictorial art. So much so that he is the only Spaniard represented in the prestigious Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy in Moscow. Definitely, only a Galician could do it. Follow Jorge on social media (@jorgeregueira_art on Instagram) and learn more about him in this interview.

Remnants of life and colour: Interview with Zita Chocarro (Hamabi Design)

17/08/2021 by Monapart

Hamabi, which means 12 in Basque, is a number full of symbolism. Twelve are the months of the year, the signs of the Zodiac, and twelve are also the apostles (or the knights of the round table, if you are more chivalrous...). Be sure to visit their online shop and read our interview to find out more about it.

Personal design for everyone: An interview with Júlia Esqué

07/06/2021 by Monapart

Summarising the essence of Julia Esqué’s (@juliaesque on Instagram) work as a product designer in a few words is easy thanks to all the work behind it. Her projects are grounded in research and hands-on practice, and have been exhibited at the Brussels Collector Fair, the Design Museum Ghent and the HKDI Gallery in Tokyo, among others. With a vision shaped by five years collaborating with Stephen Burks in New York, and after working with Martí Guixé, Jaume Ramírez and Curro Claret, she continues learning (and teaching) things and seeking inspiration without waiting for it to arrive. Between one project and the next, she distils her love for objects for us in this interview.

Life after the domestic: Interview with Núria Vila

01/04/2021 by Monapart

Núria (@nuriavilafoto on Instagram) is a photographer specialising in interior design, decoration and architecture. If you often browse through national interior design magazines, you've probably seen some of her photos without knowing it. But what she really likes are the stories that inhabit those four captured walls and their domesticity. Find out more about her in this interview.

Reconnecting city and nature: Interview with 'cómo crear historias'

11/03/2021 by Monapart

If you were to put an architect, a psychologist, a landscape designer, a biologist and a designer into a cocktail shaker, the result wouldn't be a joke, but quite the opposite. The pairing of Mónica and Javier, the minds behind 'cómo crear historias' [how to create stories], combines the urban and the rural like few others, creating narratives that always put people and their needs at the centre, and which take shape as integrative and sustainable architectural projects that manage to make the absolute best of their surroundings.

Art in Suspension: An Interview with Diego Pujal

01/03/2021 by Monapart

Diego Pujal's work cannot be fully understood without having a mind open to contrasts, and not necessarily pictorial ones. From his home in Montnegre, embraced by its forests, the Argentine artist catalyses everything full of art that inspires him into his large canvases. In his studio, punk might be playing, but his paintings translate those waves into floating, inert shapes, drawn with surgical precision and of an ethereal nature. Find out more about Diego (@diego_pujal on Instagram) and his work in this interview.
