Interview with André Monet
/Inspired by cinema, photography, music and literature, Monet has a natural connection and sense for the current society and his contemporaries. His signature conceptual assemblage of text texture and color exudes eccentricity and empowerment of its time, exemplifying the characters and personalities of its icons. Monet explored various mediums such as mosaic, collage and acrylics. More recently, he turned to the portrait.
