Although he specializes in sculpture during his training in visual arts, in his artwork painting is also prominent with a hyper-realistic approach which evokes photography and which seeks to deceive the observer’s eye. However, his most recent artwork is mainly sculpture and installations, in which the protagonist is an everyday object which already identifies him as an artist: bank notes. Monge recreates them using paper and acrylic paint and piles them up in large quantities to, often, burn them. Through irony and the destruction of his own work he creates a critique of present-day society and the omnipotent enthronement of economic value.
