Mònica Subidé (Barcelona, 1974) lives and works in Barcelona. Mònica creates dreamlike paintings on linen and paper that explore emotional space and the relationship between presence and absence. Through a palette of soft colors, unfinished lines, and a deliberately gestural approach, her compositions offer a visual experience that rejects strict logic to embrace an emotional space where anything is possible. Although her work remains grounded in figuration, it invites a deeper reflection on the intangible and the fleeting, playing with the idea of boundaries and the potential of space. Her work constructs an introspective atmosphere that invites the viewer to lose themselves in an imaginary expanse, where what is absent feels as significant as what is present.

Mònica studied at the Centre d’Art Massana in Barcelona. She has exhibited at Nino Mier Gallery in Brussels; Yiri Arts in Taipei; Soy Capitán Gallery in Berlin, Germany; Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin, Germany; Galería Herrero de Tejada in Madrid, Spain; and Galería Ehrhardt Flórez in Madrid, Spain. In 2025, she held her first collaboration with Pelaires, presenting a solo exhibition Un espai per a l’absència at the Pelaires Cabinet, curated by Saša Bogojev.
