Monez is a Balinese illustrator, influenced by the fables of his childhood. While he began drawing at a young age, by the end of high school, he was called to a future in his family”s garment business. After a short career in the factory office, Monez opposed family tradition and pursued a Master of Art at The Indonesian Institute of the Arts. He chose the road his grandfather, a painter, had taken. Inspired by Balinese culture and the folk-tales that drove his obsession with monsters, Monez developed a style called „Fablelous”, a modern interpretation of his cultural traditions. Today Monez”s work can be seen in many forms, from large-scale murals to characters in children”s books, at exhibitions in Asia, Africa and the United States to collaborations with Apple, Disney and Starbucks, and as a featured artist on design apps Affinity Designer and Procreate to the apparel and stationery he sells under the brand MONSTERO.
