HURRICANE — From wall art to energetic pyramids, voice channeling and sound healing, Monica Iglesias’ artwork represents a convergence of creativity, spirituality and worldly adventures.
Bringing together the right and left sides of the brain and divine masculine and feminine energies, Iglesias said her art is about balance.
“My art is a blend of science and spirit,” Iglesias said, pointing to an art piece hanging in her living room. “Everything is bringing this blend of balance. It’s not just aesthetically pleasing, it has a purpose, as well.”
Iglesias said she identifies as a conduit and is recognized for her connection to angelic frequencies. Certain artworks she creates embody elemental energies ranging up to the 12th dimension, the realm of love, and serve as a vessel for channeling energy, she said.
“I feel like my life purpose is to first emanate divine love, then bridge heaven and earth in order to create heaven on earth,” Iglesias said. “So by bridging these pieces and bringing these energies is to elevate the vibration of the environment and the people in it.”
Initially, Iglesias never envisioned herself as an artist. She perceived her artistic abilities as reminiscent of her days in kindergarten, merely sketching stick figures, houses and trees. However, her perspective shifted dramatically after participating in her first paint night event.
“I gave myself permission to explore and play and it didn’t have to be perfection,” she said. “That opened up an exploration of art.”
This exploration became a family affair, as she involved her husband and children in various creative pursuits, ranging from photography to pottery to sketching.
In 2018, she said she experienced a profound upheaval in her life, a rock bottom that was just the beginning of rebuilding herself energetically, physically and emotionally. This personal crisis had a ripple effect on her business, leading to its eventual collapse. After declaring bankruptcy, she said she was left feeling adrift and lost. But art served as a road through this aimless time.
“The art of the flow painting, it was healing,” she said. “It was like color therapy for me. It also taught me a lot about my own life, that I only have control of so much. Then I had to let go and allow the masterpiece to reveal itself and not judge it.”
Upon delving into flow painting, Iglesias began infusing her artwork with crystals and resin, deliberately embedding chosen energies into each piece. Many of her wall art creations prominently feature crystal quartz clusters, and she said she often experiences visions of their final form before creating them.
Additionally, she incorporates 24-karat gold, Herkimer diamonds and other higher-vibration metals that sparkle under nighttime lighting.
Through her artistic journey, she said she came to recognize the inherent masterpieces within each of her paintings. Even those she initially perceived as “failures” revealed hidden beauty upon closer examination. One particular piece underwent four transformations before being discarded in her garage. Yet, upon a serendipitous discovery and subsequent reevaluation, she recognized its allure when she turned it upside down. Adding resin to accentuate its newfound beauty, it became one of her works of art.
“There was a gal that looked at it and she goes, ‘That is me. That is a reflection of me, my goddess,’” she said. “These stories and how they come about, my mind will judge it as something, but the energy and spirit that flows through me to create these pieces is beyond me.”
In addition to her wall art, Iglesias crafts Orgone Pyramids by hand, combining piezoelectric crystals and metals in resin. This creation is inspired by Wilhelm Reich’s scientific investigations, which led to the recognition of orgone energy. Their purpose is to cleanse negative energy by drawing it in and transmuting it into positive energy.
She also facilitates voice channeling sessions, leading individuals through a meditation journey to ground and cleanse their chakras, which she said ultimately creates a space to connect with guides for spiritual communication.
“It’s kind of like a trip to heaven and back without having to die to get there,” she said. “They go through a healing process and a connection process. You’re already connected, but oftentimes, people don’t recognize the connection.”
With her many artistic passions, she said she recently found herself shifting primarily to music. Iglesias described how she feels compelled to open her mouth to receive frequencies guided by angels and spirit guides. Her musical journey began with performances at assisted living facilities and a concert at the Red Cliffs Mall, including renditions of “Phantom of the Opera.” Emerging from what she defined as an “energetic hibernation,” she intends to make writing and music her primary pursuit for the year ahead.
She also loves taking on one-time projects, such as making a wedding dress from scratch without a pattern or a 13-foot mural she was commissioned to complete at The Haven Assisted Living Facility.
In addition, Iglesias harbors a deep passion for travel and speaks many languages fluently. Presently, she’s dedicated to mastering Korean and Arabic. This passion took her to reside in places like France and Puerto Rico before she settled in Hurricane, where she met her now husband. She credits him with providing an unwaveringly loving environment that allows her to freely explore and embrace her true self.
“For me, it’s become a vibrational frequency of love, peace and joy,” she said. “The whole purpose of my art is to bring those divine energies in and raise the vibrational frequency.”
In addition to art, Iglesias has written children’s books that urge young minds to craft with both their hands and their hearts, as a means to foster love, peace and joy. Drawing inspiration from her own life and experiences with her children, each book unveils a true narrative. Presently, she’s working on “A Castle in the Fields,” delving into the realms of her past lives, she said.
