Mónica Millán was born in a hot and humid January 1960 in the old town of San Ignacio, Misiones. As a girl she walked through the mountains and she felt that there was something there, beneath the earth, mysterious, religious, secret. She grew up with that feeling. In her work her theme was always nature, with photos of flora, animals and drawings by ancient travelers-botanists, entomologists, etc. Seeking to go further, he felt the need to take it to the three-dimensional with embroidery where the earth-fabric curled and grew into trees, leaves, vines, clouds, and fell back to the earth in rain, worms with hair, flowers and roots. that were introduced into it. She did it vertically until she realized that she wanted to keep the fabric as an object, the soft thing, “the little cloth”, and so she left the frame and space appeared, she began to build in space. The unconscious was always very strong, it appears in her work in front of her and then is interpreted, it is a tension that is sustained throughout the construction period between what she sees and what is being embodied outside of her. She received scholarships from the Antorchas Foundation, the National Fund for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Telefónica Foundation and the National Academy of Fine Arts and in 2000 she obtained the Trama scholarship. From 2002 to the present, she worked in Paraguay with a village of loom weavers, Ao poi, and lace (needle) Ju, advised by Ticio Escobar. With them they set up an embroidery museum in the town for a single day. Lace-landscapes designed by Millán and made by them. Drawings-portraits. The lairs of kneaded earth, home of termites, a reflection of the landscape. This work of recovery, identification and recreation of traditional fabrics allowed him to generate a very fruitful link between artistic creation and popular crafts. In her latest installations, she included electroacoustic systems that reproduce sounds captured in the middle of the missionary mountain plus those that she experienced with her own voice. Her main exhibitions include: Paisaje Peregrino, Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, 2021; Symbiology.
