Beatriz Monteavaro's work is informed by the comic books and cartoons she eagerly followed as a child, and by the MTV videos, cheap sci-fi and B-horror movies we're all bombarded with today. But her highly rendered drawings and earnest video art is neither nostalgic nor blatantly ironic. She says: "I examine the pitfalls associated with social classification. I develop plots that portray two or more groups in Conflict. The narratives examine the role of ethics, stereotypes, power, heroism and loyalty in our society."
