In Mónica Dixon’s art, there is a desire to depict reality with precision, where light and space—the stage where everything unfolds—take center stage. Without abandoning her paintings of solitary houses set against vast horizons, evocative of the American landscape of her homeland, she now transports us to an interior world nuanced by strong light contrasts and punctuated, timidly, by hints of color. She has always adapted light into a highly personal visual language, capturing its exterior clarity and sharpness or, as is the case now, unleashing deep sensations and thoughts through a dialogue with shadows. Her painting oscillates between a world built on geometric rationalism and a loss of definition that pushes us to the edge of abstraction.
