Her practice can be defined as a reflection on the limits of human experience, questioning the solidity of our perception and delving into ideas borrowed from neuroscience and other disciplines, like the premise that reality is nothing but a collective and controlled hallucination. For Montiel, altered states of consciousness are tools to go beyond the easily perceived, but she also embraces “normal waking state” ways of working.
With her works, Montiel opens windows onto a world that topples us and shoves us towards new prophetic dimensions, dimensions of the infinite and unknown. She considers herself a “mapper of the unconscious”.
