Jesus Monge Onion

Born in 1956 in Godojos, Aragon, Spain, at the age of 65, he displayed a talent for painting from a young age. At 14, he entered a school of applied arts, and at 17, he began working in a renowned studio, where he learned many ancient techniques from the Renaissance period. He then worked in design and decoration until the 2008 Spanish financial crisis, when he returned to painting full-time. Specializing in hyperrealism, his works combine the energy of a young artist with rich life experience, emphasizing proportion, taste, refinement, and aesthetics. Since 2013, he has participated in at least 13 group and solo exhibitions (including one art fair), and has won four awards (including one first prize). He was also shortlisted for the 2018 Taipei New Art Fair International Grand Prix.
