We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?

Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

How would you describe yourself and your artwork?

I describe myself as a thinker, showing my images with a personal style and where each image shows that precise moment in just a few seconds and also the character is transmitting what I have in mind. I try to take pictures with ideas that I feel attracted to since the beginning, leaving my mark as an architect. I studied for my Bachelor’s degree in architecture in Mexico. I have a double nationality; Mexican and Lebanese.

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?

As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.

How do you go about beginning a new piece? Do you have an idea already in mind, or do you start working with materials or sketches to find the departure point?

The process begins with immersion in a specific topic, research information and attempt of studying it from various sides. After pondering for a while and determining material, form, colour and texture, I begin to create. However, I still am open to some changes in this stage as I believe in evolving during the making process.

Imaginative, aesthetic, thought-provoking, they are the traits of Momo Meng's artwork. Momo loves observing society, exploring the deep emotions of humans and animals, and capturing them in her art. She creates works to be the voice for the voiceless, the powerless, the hopeless, in order to fight against the absurd, the violence and inequalities. She wishes her creations could resonate with the audience, raise their awareness, and be the standing point to fight for a better future, a better society which has variety, equality, unity, a healthy environment, and respect for all living beings.

How would you describe yourself and your artwork?

I consider myself to be a physically and spiritually active and curious person. Everything in the world around us is interesting to me; from myself studying, questioning and discovering interesting things about how people behave in society in general to my daily enjoyment, exploration, and discovery about how observing and investigating nature and all natural and man-made objects and how they can be combined to work for me to create communication art that stimulates the understanding of something familiar into something that becomes new in the process of manufacturing new meaning. I am constantly fascinated about how I can naturally spark my mind to have creative ideas at any given moment to help fuel my conceptual illustration art-making just by observing making art from anything that crosses my path as I journey through life in the world around us.

Did you have an idea of what you wanted to create right from the beginning?

I always knew what I wanted to create. I was always passionate about classic stories, but I wanted to give them a twist. I try to show the psychological part that all these stories have and demonstrate that, no matter how old the stories are they are still very current. In my opinion, that is why people are attracted to my work because one way or another they identified themselves with it.
