Based in Brisbane, Monique Baques uses the language of colour to express deep feelings, represent her world and tell meaningful stories. Her work explores the relationship between colour, shape and space.
Baques’ work is organised in series, the latest of which is An Abstract Journey. It was inspired by the concepts of flexibility, harmony, and simplicity. Monique sought to provide Solace through these vibrant colours and attractive compositions.
Monique earned a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts in Argentina and a postgraduate degree in Art Management at the Universidad de Chile. Her life journey took her to France, The Netherlands and Malaysia over the following 12 years. With three young children she settled in Australia in 2012.
Monique has exhibited her work widely throughout South America, Europe, Asia and Australia and her art pieces are owned by collectors around the world. During the pandemic, Monique was heavily inspired by the idea that art should be worn. As a result, she founded ART2GO – a sustainable active wear brand that showcases her original designs.
