Self-Portrait, 2023
Vincent Monastero
Artist
After a decade long career designing objects, furniture, and lighting, New York based artist Vincent Monastero (b. 1987), began shifting his attention to nature, seeking a greater connection to the worlds around us and within us. His practice is a balance between selecting natural and human-made materials before intuitively marking and assembling them to create compositions that express personal experience.
