Monica Canilao


I watched a documentary called Paper Hearts last night for the second time. Such a sad movie, although very beautiful.

My wonderful roommate and friend, Danielle, showed me this artist last night. Her name is Monica Canilao. She makes paintings with fox heads and needlework, drawings with watercolor and charcoal, wood etchings, even hats and house decor. While she seems to choose a much more imaginative set of mind in her artwork, some of her art is extremely realistic, and yet still whispering her quirky sense of style. And she's Indian, which means she automatically gets 1000+ bonus points. I am absolutely in love with her stuff!

Here's a collection of some of her artwork, as well as some of her collaborations with a few other artists.


And here is the beautiful lady herself.
