Monica Rochlin - Facilitator

Monica is an art director based between Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon, where she has been living for the past four years. Her background in film, television, and advertising informs a practical and intuitive approach to visual storytelling. In recent years, while living in Lisbon, a more personal artistic practice has been developing around collage and its dialogue with other techniques and forms of visual expression. The work is guided by experimentation, intuition, and an openness to the creative process. Her interest in teaching grows from the combination of professional experience and ongoing artistic exploration, with a focus on creating learning spaces where people can experiment, exchange ideas, and develop their own visual language in an open and supportive environment. @monica_rochlin
