"...The work of Tatiana Montoya is not based on image as an illusion, not even as a representation that may alter the principle of creation. Her work is based on the curiosity that moves experience (guided by challenging the principle of things) in which the interest lies in demonstrating the action, the small explosion that brings the subject to life."

Montoya’s art is an art of translation, converting one thing into another, seeking to capture the current and letting it flow over the living surface of the material or paper. The result is a spark in the abyss; that which encloses depth and profound, without being caught out by the smoothness and the frame that filters and seduces her gaze. It is then when the most abstract becomes the most specific, and vice versa."
